Learning Japanese Hiragana and Katakana 2ed : A Workbook for Self-Study

 

"Learning Hiragana and Katakana" is a systematic and comprehensive Japanese workbook that can be used along with a Japanese language textbook or as a stand-alone resource to learn the Japanese alphabet ("kana"). Written Japanese combines three different types of characters: the Chinese characters known as kanji, and two Japanese sets of phonetic letters, hiragana and katakana, known collectively as kana, that must be mastered before the Japanese kanji can be learned. For students learning Japanese who wish to understand the basics of reading and writing Japanese kanji and kana, "Learning Japanese Hiragana and Katakana," a best-selling book since 1990, is a favorite tool of students and teachers worldwide. The new third edition has been expanded and revised to include many additional reading and writing exercises. Accompanying online recordings demonstrate the correct pronunciation of all the characters, vocabulary, and sentences in the book. "Learning Japanese Hiragana and Katakana" provides beginning-level students of Japanese a thorough grounding in the basic hiragana and katakana phonetic symbols or syllabaries. A comprehensive introduction presents their basic function, origin, pronunciation and usage. The main body of the book is devoted to presenting the 92 hira and kata characters along with their variations, giving step-by-step guidelines on how to write each character neatly in the correct stroke order, with plentiful practice spaces provided for handwriting practice. Interspersed among the practice pages are regular review sections containing reading and writing exercises designed to help the reader consolidate the meaning and usage of newly introduced characters. This is essential to read Japanese as well as to write Japanese. Additional practice sections at the end of each chapter and at the end of the book provide fun exercises, quizzes, and extended reading and writing practice to help beginning Japanese language students take their first steps toward attaining fluency in reading and writing Japanese. This workbook is a perfect companion to Tuttle Publishing's "Japanese Hiragana & Katakana for Beginners" or any other Japanese textbook on the market and is an essential reference tool to learn Japanese. This workbook includes: Systematic and comprehensive coverage of the two Japanese kana systems. Ample provision for Japanese kana practice, review, and self-testing at several levels"Detailed reference section explaining the origin and function of kana, and the various kana combinations.
