@mrbanzai: Typing and hand writing hiragana #japan

Milla :

Don't even start with ツ and シ, ソ and ン 💀

b :

ive been watching videos on this language for 3 months now and every single day i find more things that make it overly complex🥲 i think i'll give up

30cm of unrequited love :

There’s also two different types of そ

catkyatto :

this is my first time learning this and i've handwritten so many letters... 😵‍💫

PAUL MAUL :

I tutor ESL to Japanese children. I tell them that “b | d” is our very own “さ| ち” problem to tackle. Some very cute mistakes I’ve had to correct like “brink water” 🥹🥲 or “bon’t want to” awwwww

yuk1nawara :

is this a safe place to say i write ri like this (り) all the time?

[SUI]FlowMichi :

Easy trick, just use other fonts on your phone so you don't get mixed up

яιngtone (rei’s version) :

what happens if i do write sa like さ

ffdgff1234 :

ふ

Mr. Banzai :

so comments are teaching me that theres more than さ　り

Moon🌙✨ :

I did a whole paper in college about how under diagnosed dyslexia is in Japan, I was able to find a few sources backing it up using these hiragana

Legal Kangaroo :

それとも、「き」ですね

fronklandia :

I’m sa-ri

Cubic :

さり, sa is not connected but ri is on my phone

ndyan.d :

what makes the difference between り and リ in higana or it doesn’t matter?

Sergio Romo Muñoz3510 :

So, if I write さ and りconnected, I'm doing it wrongly?

crazybunny816 :

I always have trouble remembering katakana ツ and シ　ソ and ン

Dandy :

When I first started learning japanese in college courses none of my teachers mentioned or corrected me on these but since coming to japan to study I just naturally picked up on it watching my teachers write on the board. It's little nuances like this that need to be in textbooks imo

Sierra-is-gone :

We do that a little bit, too. Look at “a”. Nobody writes it like that by hand. Same with “g”, and “4” depending on the font. We also got q,p,b, and d to tell apart. I’ll bet that’s super fun to learn

Ara :

It reminds me of cursive. Its writing the character without lifting the pen up completely.

leckykittysoftpaws :

Also ふ

Thatguy_ty🦋 :

So now I have to change my muscle memory

catnapscatnips :

This was a learning curve for me I hated it at first lol😭😭

Rainbeaux_Unicorn :

Thank you for explaining this. I was wondering why they’re different.
