You know what... I never realized that I didn't even complete the last three characters.
I guess that's something I should work on now ^.^
I thought I was all done with these!

Still, thank you SO much. It means a lot that you do these. You're VERY good at teaching them. I hope to see perhaps Katakana later? I dunno, up to you. Β But thanks. c:

Thank you so much
When I started making these a few years ago I noticed there was a severe lack of thorough Hiragana lessons so I'm glad that I could contribute something to the Japanese learning community.Β
One of these day's I'll have to sit down and do a Katakana one too. I know that it's long overdue.

I'd like to see it. Β ' u ' Β Β

I can read kana as easily as I can read english, it always seems odd to me when I hear of people not being able to read.

I know what you mean. I've been able to read Kana for so long now that I hardly remember how it was when I was learning it

kanji though...kanji is a pain.

I know, I've been trying to keep up with studying kanji and it's been a challenge

Does this all only count for: ri-ki-gi-ni-mi-hi-pi-bi?
Oh and Merry Chistmas

I like a variety of music.
There is a lot of songs I wouldn't like if I hadn't seen in an Anime.
I tend to like rock like Orange Range, Yui and other various artists that I can't remember.

wow, i don't ever think i've seen a how-to-write-japanese tutorial like this before. 
Also, though i know everyone is asking you already, how *would* you go about teaching kanji? if you ever got to it? or would you start with grammer first? i know *I* learned grammer before kanji, but maybe you learned it the other way? *shrug* ...just curious
π: 0 β©: 1
I've never seen a detailed how-to-write-japanese either! Hundreds of grammar tutorials but very few that go into writing.
As for Kanji. I've thought about that a lot. I would probably do a kanji tutorial if only for the sake of helping ME remember them! lol
I feel quite inexperienced with grammar and you can find grammar lessons all over the internet from people who know way more than I do.
But through my experience of learning Japanese I've found it's easier to remember words and kanji if your able to put them to use.
If you give me a kanji and tell me to study it, chances are I will hardly remember it at all down the run. I can't connect the character with anything and so it doesn't stick in my mind.
But if you give me a word or two that the character goes with, and then have me use that word several times in a sentence! Then I find that I'm using the kanji more often and I remember it faster.
I recognize that the people who read my lessons have little knowledge of the Japanese language. And because of that I would probably add some grammar as a side point to my lessons. Really it would become "How to read/write Kanji and put that kanji in a sentence"
Since kanji is a written part of the language I feel it would be quite useless to learn kanji before you learn any grammar because then you can't write a sentence. Your just writing characters over and over.
There are plenty of people who want to learn Japanese but are lost on how.
In my lessons I would hope not to just help people learn but figure out a study method that works for them. If they can figure out a routine for learning then everything becomes much easier. In the end they would be able to continue learning without my help.
Of course this is all theoretical! I've considered doing a few kanji lessons but I've found myself having a hard time knowing where to start exactly. And I've been short on free time lately... You could probably expect at least one kanji lesson in the future but I wouldn't guarantee it going very far.

hrmm, so true. It is, I suppose, quite unrational to think that people would be able to remember and use kanji before learning the necessary grammar...ANYWHO, I wish you luck in your own japanese lessons, and find myself, nevertheless, waiting for how you might choose to dictate your kanji lesson(s?)

If I were to start kanji lessons, what kanji do you think I should start with? Most people learn the kanji for 1-10 first but those are so dull -.-
π: 0 β©: 1
hrmm...I know that when I started to learn kanji, I, like most people, started with 1-10; but you are right. Those are boring (and I bet people already kinda-sorta know them) After that came slightly more interesting kanji: the days of the week [insert dramatic gasp here]. And after that, I learned the "watashi" kanji, some directional kanji (i.e. "migi", "hidari", "ue", "shita", etc...) and after those, I learned some kanji for some words (i.e. "ikimasu", "aimasu", "tabemasu", "nomimasu", etc...)
I don't know if this'd help you, but I hope you do your best regardless!

It was pretty much the same with me
I learned the numbers first, And then mostly a lot of verbs. perhaps I should include in each lesson different subjects of Kanji so to keep the knowledge varied
For example: Each lessons have one kanji that is a verb, one that is a noun and then have some adjectives/adverbs etc.
Once in a while I'd probably have a lessons that pertains to a specific theme like learning all of the days of the week at once or something like that.

Oh ho! Sounds nice! 
π: 0 β©: 0
Yep, now it's all good :3
Only one lesson to go? Are you going for katakana after that, or are you exhausted enough as it is?
Anyway, thank you for the hard work
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not really that eager about katakana. I'm even considering skipping strait to kanji! but I'll make up my mind this summer when I'll have more time.
π: 0 β©: 1
Kanji! 
Just curious - where would you start?
π: 0 β©: 1
I would learn Katakana first. Katakana is pretty similar to Hiragana but theres some annoying differences...
π: 0 β©: 1
I know - but I learned katakana already, I just need to exercise reading so I don't forget. But as for kanji, if I remember ten of them, I'll count myself lucky...
π: 0 β©: 1
lol they're hard to remember if you don't use them regularly
I hated learning Katakana. I just didn't stick as easily. And I read Katakana more slowly than I read Hiragana since it's not used as much. It's just annoying.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I haven't learned much more than ten either, so I didn't forget that much
Exactly.

For some reason, my Lesson 8 and Lesson 9 seem to be the same
But it's all well explained, so great work with that!

oops, I did it again
It's not you. For some reason I have issues with putting up the wrong lessons. I'll fix that. ^.^'
Thanks for noticing that, I don't know why nobody else mentioned it to me... -.-
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay! ^^
You're welcome. And I wonder about that, too...
π: 0 β©: 1
Ok the CORRECT lesson is up now
π: 0 β©: 0
You did it!! YaY!! O-O whoa, total nube moment...
π: 0 β©: 1
You know what's really stupid
Turns out I had it "done" and saved for the last month. The lesson just seemed so short to me I didn't feel like it was complete enough. >.< So I saved it and told myself that I would work on it later. Of course I had forgotten that part.
Here I was thinking I still had a whole bunch of stuff to do on it!
Yea you can slap me now lol
π: 0 β©: 1
*runs up and slaps her*
JK, lol!
That's good. Now you know what to do for the next one. No worries! Hey, do you know what "appare" means? It's in this really awesome Japanese song I love! It sounds so cool! Kawaii!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
My dictionary says it means "splendid" or "Well done!"
That is a fun word. What song is it from?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's called GO GIRL! Ko no Victory! by Morning Musume! THEY ARE AWESOME!! I Love Japanese music. So... different.
