What is hiragana?

Hiragana is one of the three Japanese writing systems. It is used for native Japanese words, grammar, and particle endings. Mastering hiragana is the first major step for reading Japanese.

How to practice hiragana effectively

• Practice in short sessions daily (5–15 minutes).
• Mix recognition (reading) with recall (typing/answering).
• Review your mistakes immediately and repeat weak characters.
• Avoid relying on romaji once you know the basics.
