This course is a practical introduction to Japanese writing. It is designed for learners at a intermediate level who want to move from scattered knowledge to a clear, usable understanding they can apply straight away.

Across 5 lessons you will work through the core ideas step by step, with short exercises after each section so you can check your understanding as you go rather than at the very end.

What you’ll cover:

• Three Scripts, One Language
• Learning Hiragana
• Learning Katakana
• Reading Your First Sentences
• An Introduction to Kanji

By the end you should be comfortable enough with Japanese writing to keep learning on your own, and to apply what you have covered in a real language context. No prior specialist background is assumed beyond basic familiarity with the subject area.
