Japanese Hiragana and Katakana Scripts

Australia no minasan, konnichi wa!

This short course aims to have students able to recognise and read the two basic Japanese alphabets - hiragana and katakana.  By the end of the course, students will be able to read simple words written in hiragana, katakana and words combining both scripts.

This course is for learners with no knowledge or minimal knowledge of the language. The Introduction to Hiragana and Katakana Scripts course is available prior to the commencement of Level 1 courses and strongly recommended for all students unfamiliar with these two scripts.
