When I first learned Japanese, since I started at the 2nd level, I was forced to either learn everything in the past year [hiragana basically] in about 1 week or do the previous year's Japanese class. I managed to pull it off, just as the others have said, use mind associations and read alot of hiragana. I thought that katakana was easier than hiragana...now I'm just learning the kanji. I love the Kanji!! ^ ^ Well...ãŒã‚“ã°ã£ã¦ã!! ナサーニエルå›ã‚ˆã‚Š  |

Pure memorization is never the way for anything. I guess that's the only helpful comment I can provide.....because I don't know how I learned it. To me, Japanese was only my second language, and I learned it in a Japanese environment, so it was much easier, and it's much better than my poor English. (English is not only hard because it's 3rd language, it's just hard because it's English) |

I don't know if it's just the way my mind works, but I learned Hiragana in a day, took a day's rest then learned katakana. I just made flashcards and tried to read text. That worked for me. Then a week later I went to Japan (where I am now) for five months. In my first week I learned 200 Kanji from JLPT 4kyuu and 3kyuu. Often drilling works. Or if you have a photographic memory then simply try to encounter them as much as you can, then you get the hang of it. UncleChan |

Flash cards are definately useful.

pictures do help, aswell as doing it in groups the vertical way (a,i,u,e,o) which really works, because when i learnt katakana i learnt about them just randomly and not organized in any groups which took a lot longer to learn properly  |

| Just practice it. I learned by printing out the lyrics to songs I liked in romanji and then converting them to hiragana by hand. |

| wow..i wish i have photographic memory...ToT... i guess writing them over and over again works?... |

You should print out a chart, I have one for Katakana in mai binder. (I am taking Japanese 5-6 in school) So, carry one around at skool and at free time whenever glance at it. Or use flashcards, that's a good way also. =3  |

I recommend flash cards in the beginning to memorize them, and then NEVER using romanji again! That is the key to remembering them. Everytime you learn new vocabulary write it out in kana, and make your flashcards in kana!!! Seems to have the added benifit of making vocabulary easier to memorize too. I think my class learned all the kana in about 3 or so weeks. We learned hiragana the first few weeks of class, then towards the middle of the semester learned katakana. Of the two I found katakana the hardest to remember. Still can't read it that quickly, and have trouble making some words out. Take a look at this example; so ソ n ン shi シ tsu ツ It gets really annoying depending on the font too, sometimes can't make out the stroke direction. ;_; |

| I make my own chart and look at it time to time, eventually i remembered all the katakanas and hiraganas, i'm not even taking any japanese lesson... |

Re: Remembering Hiragana!!!

the book i used for my japanese class, i think it was nakama, uses pictures that resemble the hiragana, it helped out a lot when it came time to memorize them. you can probably get the first edition off ebay for cheap.  |

My way 'a rememebering hiragana is by wirting it instead 'a the romanji for the words. It helps me alot. I only realy know hiragana and htis is why I should get professional teaching for my japanese. There are simple ways you remember katakana though. I almost know the whole hiragana chart from doing all this too. It's very useful try it.  |
