A guide to learning Hiragana and Katakana
The book is a very useful guide in learning the Kana signs. Pronounciation and stroke order are included for each sign, while in the end of any 'set' of characters is followed by a mini review session with basic words and space for writing practice. The vocabulary may notbe vast, but has exellent cultural reference and is definitely useful in both the long and short term. What is most important, it certainly helps the student to familiarize himself/herself with the scripts. Additional aspects of writting, such as consonant and vowel doubling and origins of the kana signs (how they developed out of the chinese characters) are also there. If you want a place to start your trip through the actual Japanese language, going beyond romanized scripts and phrase books, this is an exellent place to start.
Includes the following useful features:
* Systematic and comprehensive coverage of the two Kana systems needed to read and write Japanese
* Ample provision for practice, review, and self-testing at several levels
* Detailed reference section explaining the origin and function of kana, and the various kana combinations
* Helpful additional information for language students accustomed to romanized Japanese
* Pronunciation guidance for all basic sounds
* Vocabulary selected for usefulness and cultural relevance
