Japanese Lessons, Travel, Food

Learning a new language is not easy, and the one of the first challenges you face when you learn Japanese is to memorize new writing style. Hiragana, Katakana. When you first start learning them, you might be overwhelmed with all these letters that just look like pictures to you.
I know a lot of people struggle remembering characters because they don’t get to see the stroke orders. Instead of just looking at hiragana letters, you should start writing with your pen or even with your fingers as you pronounce the letter that you are writing. 
Knowing the stroke order for each letter would help to memorize the structure of each letter, and you will find it easier to distinguish each letter than before.  I am going to give you stroke orders for a, i, u, e, o, ka, ki, ku, ke, ko, and sa, shi, su, se, so, today. I will keep posting for  all the hiragana!
