Hiragana: Phonetic alphabet, each letter corresponds to a sound,
used for particles, verb endings, phonetic spellings
Katakana: Phonetic alphabet, each letter corresponds to same
sounds as in hiragana but used for foreign loanwords
Kanji: Chinese characters used for nouns, verb stems, names,
places. Each kanji may have multiple meanings/pronunciations which depend on usage.
Today we are learning…
Commonly used kanji such as numbers, yen symbol, characters used to denote time
Hiragana and how it links to kanji pronunciation
Katakana and how it can be transliterated into English words
Kanji often have both, so they can be used in many different words as components (on) or stand alone as words (kun).
On’yomi Chinese pronunciations of kanji that are mostly used
when strings of multiple kanji are needed to make a word. Mostly, these are short sounds.
Kun’yomi Japanese adaptation of kanji that attaches whole words
to a single kanji (or whole verb stems). Hiragana may be appended, such as in verbs, to complete the word.

Used for writing foreign loanwords, such as English words commonly used in everyday language
Also may be seen to phonetically represent Japanese words as a sort of stylized script when the writer wants to differentiate it from surrounding words or highlight it somehow (such as the way Jisho.org writes on’yomispellings in kanji lookups).

First, learn the stroke order for each character and practice writing them with the proper strokes many times. (Graph paper with large squares) This is the way you will learn and practice all characters,
including all kanji, so get used to it…
Read a lot. Textbooks have readings geared toward your skill level, but to practice hiragana, katakana, and basic kanji recognition without one, I recommend manga geared towards children.
Now, we will look at the most basic of kanji: numbers
一 いち (ichi) 1
二 に (ni) 2
三 さん (san) 3
四 よん (yon) 4
五 ご (go) 5
六 ろく(roku) 6
七 なな (nana) 7
八 はち (hachi) 8
九 きゅう (kyuu) 9
十 じゅう (juu) 10
You know 1-10, so you can use those to make any number up to 99.
Structure is: tens place-ten-ones place
20= 二十 (nijuu)
36= 三十六 (sanjuuroku)
88= 八十八 (hachijuuhachi)
92= 九十二 (kyuujuuni)
There are a few cases where the sound becomes different to make the flow better, but since we’re just going to look at the kanji today, I won’t go into it.
