hello. how are you? I started a few days ago.i learned hiragana and katana and began to study sentence forms and words. How did you study? what you studied after alphabets and how far have you come?

Yes, I practice daily. I didn't switch to kanji right away. I'll start doing it tomorrow. I studied the rules of the first importance, words and everything else.

Please note: I am NOT a native speaker, so the pronunciation won't be perfect by any means - far from it. Refer to native speakers to learn pronunciation. The focus of this video is simply to practice reading hiragana quickly. Greetings, Mirko

[@Milorzont]

Ok, btw, just asking. I'm not a native speaker and I don't know too many words (I know as many words as a 3/4yo kid) but my mother is Japanese, one of the words that I knew in all this was homework, I remember some weirds pronunciations (it may be a regional variant of Kansai dialect, some ppl used to say shyukdai and others shikudai, but sometimes I heard, when my mother was angry, shyukudai. So, just asking if you know the right pronunciation, this thing have been triggering me for years.

[@zinu94]

thankyou for making this video. waiting for the next video

[@kurisu6312]

From this video I found out that when I'm familiar with the word I can read 2~3 characters and figure out the whole word easily, more characters isn't necessarily harder, maybe the difficulty level would even make people overwhelmed no? putting it in simple terms like "2 characters ~ 8 characters" instead of Easy ~ Hard might be a good idea? I can't even do some of the "easy" ones while some "hard" ones are relatively easier to get

[@juliansmith4295]

This is fine, if you're just learning Japanese for fun, and it's a good test as the words get more and more difficult. However, if you want to really learn the language, don't expect to get too far learning these words this way. Off the top of my head, I don't remember any (and I'm not going to sit through this again and check) that aren't actually written in kanji. No one writes them in hiragana, so this is just an extra step if your goal is to learn how to read Japanese.

[@mirkojpn]

You are absolutely correct my friend! This is purely to practice reading hiragana fast, which can be quite hard especially in the beginning. I don't expect people to focus too much on the vocabulary. Also I think everyone of us learned the first couple words in hiragana, even if they are usually written in Kanji or not. Let them discover the ...uhum "joy" of kanji once they got the basics of writing and reading hiragana down.
