日本語能力試験・JLPTコミュのHow did you learn all Hiragana and Katanaka?

Hello ,

I would like to know how you learned and memorized Hiragana and Katanaka.

Especially how was it in the beginning?
46 of each different alphabet, what is your secret to recognize which letter correspondences with which sound?

Now I have an English friend who cannot arrive recognizing all of them but just aiueo, it has been 1 month she is practicing everyday but she cannot know which one is which one at all.

Any tips are welcome, especially the one who does not have kanji in their first language.

Thanks in advance,

I just kept writing the hiragana alphabet over and over again. After a while, I tried quizzing myself, by writing it without being able to see a copy. I would slowly get better until i could write the whole thing.

Once I got hiragana, I switched over to doing the katakana alphabet.

i learned by writing too. i was taking a class in San Francisco at the time and we had to learn 5 new Kana each week. we started with あ、い、う、え、お、and each week we added 5 more. I just kept practicing writing them all as I kept learning them (the first week was only 5, but after about 2 months I could read and write them all). Katakana I learned in 1 week because I was taking a summer class and again, my teacher forced me to learn them. I still get those mixed up 7 years later. I definitely found hiragana alot tougher than katakana, but again, it was because of the amount of time I spent learning.

Flash cards and hardcore drilling. Use a small whiteboard for writing, that way you can erase every time which will help commit them to memory.

Took me about 3 weeks to learn both. No reason it should take longer than 6 weeks IMHO. Any slower and you're in deep trouble when you have to learn kanji.

By writing and reading every day! With practice you can learn them in weeks. If you were to attend a British university you would be given a week to learn hiragana and a week for katakana.

It is simple repetition and practice.

Don't post here, just do it,

I was lucky. I took a condensed Japanese course over the summer semesters at my University. On day one we started learning Kana; after a couple weeks we knew both Hiragana and Katakana. If I didn't have a Sensei who cared enough to force us to learn them then I probably wouldn't have learned them very well. Sensei's strict schedule of learning is helping me now with learning Kanji, I'll let you know how I've done in a couple years, hahaha.

Simple. Take a soft copy (e.g. Excel table) of the kana tables, and delete the characters themselves, leaving empty cells. Print about 20 copies for each hiragana and katakana. Read the original tables several times, then attempt to fill the empty tables. Do it twice a day (I did hiragana in the morning and katakana in the evening) and soon you will memorize them all.

I don't think there is any shortcuts, i did the same thing, by copying it and practicing it again and again.
Writing it down on paper and check it, if i got anything wrong, then rewrite again. I did this everyday. Soon you will pick up the Hiragana and Katakana.

You don't need to learn by in order, how about start with easy characters, such as tsu, shi,te, he at first?

Just keep writing the kana - and test yourself by transkribing an easy Japanese sentence from rômaji into kana. It really works - at my university all students have to memorize hiragana in the first week, katakana in the second and after that it's already kanji.
It might be a bit hard in the beginning, but once you get used to writing kana, it'll be rather fun than work.

On the first Japanese course I did I was told to go away and learn hiragana and later katakana. We were just given a sheet of paper and that was it.

The secret as others have said is repetition and writing them out over and over again. How about leaving blanks for kana which your friend could come back to the next day to fill in?
