皆さん日本語コースへようこそ! Welcome to this Japanese course!

Let us be your guides in your Japanese learning journey with this Complete Hiragana and
Katakana course. I know that learning a new language from scratch can be overwhelming, but
fear not! We tried to create a course that would be short, simple, and straight forward. This
course does not require any prior experience, all you need is an eagerness to learn!

Your course instructor has more than 8 years of experience of studying about Japan and
Japanese language. She has lived, worked, and studied in Japan, where she learned more
about the nuanced details of the language. She has also been teaching languages for over six
years, and Japanese for over three years. So you’re in good hands!

Let’s take our first step and learn Hiragana and Katakana together.

In this course you will learn:

What is the purpose of Hiragana and Katakana;
How Hiragana looks and functions;
How to read and write Hiragana syllables;

Your course project is to look at the vocabulary list provided in this course, and choose 10 words

In this way you will not only practice writing, but will also expand your vocabulary.
