I learned hiragana first and it took me a few weeks to become proficient at it. Katakana took me longer. Take your time to learn the basics it's totally ok. Sometimes it just takes a while to sink in. Saying the sound out loud while looking/writing will help!
I learned hiragana and katakana for 1 month.......
I started with Katakana by practicing reading and writing, it should only take a few days on each
@YukiHayashi im learning since two days straight. I made myself flashcards for every Hiragana and im able to keep them all in my head. I keep repeating them out loud every hour and that helps me.- I'm doing something similar with katakana, I've been going to multiple Japanese websites to practice reading
I just began to learn japanese, but I already learnt most of the hiragana (katakana, it's something else... x) ). Personally, to remember them easily, I directly learn vocabulary. Because like that I learn the word and how it's writing, and because I know this word, I will be able to read it and so, remember hiragana/katana.
In my case take 3 weeks, i also practice each day in my phone with few app and flashcard in quizlet.com
Back when I understood absolutely zero Japanese, I taught myself katakana by looking at video game titles/character names I knew in English, and figuring out what the katakana meant. It took me a few months to learn reading and writing. I learned hiragana in a Intro to Japanese class, I was writing hiragana by the time the 8-week course was finished.
I think it took a week or two to learn to recognize them, although I still frequently confused on ツ with シ and ソ with ン for a long time after that. It took considerably longer to be able to read them in words without effort. Once you've got the basic recognition down, reading lots and lots of words and sentences is the best possible practice. Stories for children are often written entirely in kana, so that's one way to practice-- and you will pick up some vocabulary and grammar at the same time. It's probably best to work with something for which you have an English translation, though, or else you will spend all of your time figuring out what the sentences mean and the reading fluency will take longer to develop. It's good to know some vocabulary before trying to read, though-- else you will be reading individual sounds instead of entire words.
It took me a week to learn them both but there are a few i have a hard time with them
I dont think that flash card for hiragana/katana are a good idea. It is better to write it down each time, try to learn 5 characters at once(a,i,u,e,o), every 5 or 10 minutes go for the next 5 characters(ka,ki,ku,ke,ko) and do it for a while, then repeat over. So when you write 5 characters, about 3 times or so, try to write it without any reference. It allowed me to learn katakana in 2 hours.(it wasnt perfect but I could write all katakana easly, except some exceptions)
