There are three types of letters in Japanese.
- 1. Hiragana (phonetic sounds) are basically used for particles, words and parts of words.
- 2. Katakana (phonetic sounds) are basically used for foreign/loan words.
- 3. Kanji (Chinese characters) are used for the stem of words and convey the meaning as well as sound.
We suggest you start learning Hiragana, then Katakana and then Kanji. If
you learn Hiragana first, it will be easier to learn Katakana next. Hiragana
will help you learn Japanese pronunciation properly, read Japanese beginners'
textbooks and write sentences in Japanese.
Katakana will help you read Japanese menus at restaurants. Hiragana and
Katakana will be a good help to your Japanese study and comfortable living
in Japan.
