Hiragana for beginners! Let's learn how to write and say Japanese Hiragana Characters

Hello!

This is a fun and simple class for those who really love Japanese and want to learn the basics of Hiragana. Japanese has three different writing systems: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji (Chinese characters). This class is just the basic alphabet: Hiragana. We will learn how to write the characters properly, and read them. We can also practice forming words with the Hiragana characters.

I lived in Japan for 3 years and can speak Japanese at an intermediate level.

Let's learn Japanese together!

Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk
-------About me Name: Ayaka Origin: Osaka Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active) Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover ----------About the Lesson--------------------- The main focus will be on "Speaking." Q. Why is speaking the main focus? A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers. -----A message to the students at the end----- I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.
