Moving to Japan Tips: The Language Question

Posted by DBR, 236 days ago in Learning Japanese
 
I have at last managed to pump out another in my Moving to Japan series, this time on how much language you really need to move here. As usual it is aimed at the only semi-voluntary crowd of expat wives (lol) but should be useful to others, too.

I learned hiragana first and when I later learned katakana and was able to understand what I was reading, I was kicking myself for not learning it first.

Very interesting blog post. Enjoyed it very much.

Coming from a future "young buck" gaijin blogger (haha), I also admit that I'm currently learning Hiragana first... I guess I'll see how it plays out.

I taught myself Katakana first am am very glad I did. Many of the Hiragana are similar and as my vocabulary increases the Hiragana becomes more relevant to me.
