How to learn katakana
It made me
proud
 "I got one step closer to my goal of learning Japanese for real."
How I did it: Even though I have been teaching myself the katakana chart for a fairly long time, I always forgot about the way of writing of certain katakana (especially ne, nu, yu, yo, ...). When I first heard of a certain service (see "Resources, products, and services that helped you") I decided to learn the all the katakana through it on a regular basis :). Lessons & tips: You should probably also have a look at a usual katakana-chart (with spellings written underneath or over the single katakana), just because I think there were some differences in the way they spelt it on this page and the way they are spelt in general in such katakana charts. Resources: So you might ask yourself now which site I am talking about ... I think some might know it under the name of iKnow!, but I don't remember the former URL (since I got to know this page under the new name). |

misti2009 is studying Japanese.
How I did it: I wrote out each sound and character along with a Mnemonic for each one....and actually while I was in the bath I used a wet erase marker and practiced writing from memory on the ledge of the tub, lol....it helped!!!! Just have an old rag handy to wipe it off when ur done.Flashcards seem to work for some but I need more hands on.... Read how I did it…
comarose is studying for final exams
How I did it: I took a class at uni that was not part of my degree. I held lunchtime sessions with Japanese students in exchange for helping them with their English. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Writing in the subway the alphabet, a i u e o, ka ki ku ke ko...Transcribing random english words to katakana.Reading katakana words.Repeating repeating and repeating, that's the only trick I think, just make yourself used to write and read the symbols. Read how I did it…
mleal is so unbelievably happy :-)
so I’ve completely learned hiragana a while ago! i love writing song lyrics in all hiragana—but now i know why kanji comes in so much handy! it would’ve saved me a couple hand cramps if i could just write one kanji for an entire word rather than a 5 or even 8 hiragana’s to write on word xD
next to katakana!~ hopefully it’ll be easy, since i heard that actually it’s quite hard compared to hiragana o-O

I just recently taught myself Hiragana and after a bit more practice I’m going to tackle Katakana…I wonder if it will be easier to memorize…Learning Hiragana was so much fun. I enjoy writing in Hiragana…well i’m gonna start learning Katakana by May 1st…
I am studying Japanese and I am learning how to read and write.
I learned Hiragana but I haven’t don’t so much studying on Katakana.
It’s not that I’m lazy, I just haven’t found the time.
I think I will soon reach this goal :). I now have an account with smart.fm and try to work on my katakana knowledge as often as possible. Finally I can remember some of them :D. “Nu”, “ne”, “hi”, ... :D I even can see how certain katakana are written correctly and so on, so … I really recommend having an account there :). I know that it sometimes is difficult to memorize all the katakana and I take one step at a time.
Good luck everyone who wants to reach this goal!! You will certainly reach it :D.

I made some katakana flashcards and started using them. It helps a lot.
I found learning Katakana a bit of a drag, so I made a little game. If you use gtalk or the chat thingy in gmail, you can try out the game by talking to jappaserver@gmail.com Just say to him ‘start’ and he will start a fun game to help you learn.
Already know hirigana, thanks to my crazy japanese teacher . I know I’m gonna be forced into katakana eventually, but I want to know! learning to read all over again is crazy. I found that getting manga in japanese, and just forcing yourself through it with a letter chart nearby is really helpful, plus, in the comics, the kanji has hirigana in small print! ;)
Working on hiragana before I jump into this. I can tell the diference between the two (of course) but some of the variations are so different from the hiragana. Won’t start it until I think I have mastered hiragana.
For beginner with no knowledge at all, i’ve found this little blog very useful indeed, =)
