Kana question

chr0nik · 9 Jul 2006

Hi all, I started to study Japanese a couple of weeks ago and I've finally memorized the Kana and I would like to know whether I've got the stroke order right.

The point of the pic is to ask you to tell me whether I've done it properly or no.

Could you please tell me if it's correct and if not, what I have to change.

Thanks!!!

Everything looks good.

Please note that a hiragana "tsu" has both a small version and a big version. I was just wondering if your hiragana "tsu" was the small version.

Here is a great resource on checking your stroke-order.

Yeah, I made a mistake on that one... it's a small "tsu" but it meant to be the big one.

I like your hiragana "ne."

Hiragana te, de should look like such : て、で without a tail or underscore on the bottom line.

yeah, that's a good idea

Katakana's "so" looks weird. Also, the "mi"'s slashes need to be about the same size.

Hiragana's "ka" is exactly like your katana's "ka"; the former needs to be more round-ish. "Tsu" looks plain horrible; it's like an inverted C. "ro" and "ru" are just not right. "Fu" is weird, and "te" is not right either. "Mi" needs to end up pointing downwards. "Yu" is weird. "N" starts out as a diagonal, not as a 90 degree horizontal line. Be careful with "wo"'s second stroke. "mo" second stroke ends up upwards.

Good idea, I'd post my current progress and maybe I could correct stuff before I'm finished and all drilled up!

Can I see how you write kana?

What for? If you need a reference on how to write kana, and want to constrast that with yours, just google them up.

persil · 12 Jul 2006

True, but seeing as how you so hastily criticized someone else's kana writing, I guess seeing yours might be of some value.

Hi, chr0ink san, nice to meet you!
I'm Japanese and I must admit your writing is far better than mine.
Very good job! Please keep up the good work. Ganbatte ne!

Thanks!!!! your comment pretty much gave me the confidence to carry on learning japanese.. specially when I'm in the phrase where you think that you mastered the kana and then try to slowly figure out the kana displayed on websites and TV (I have JSTV here in the UK).
Thanks again and thanks who all the peeps that wrote comments, that helped a lot.

Hastily? I think you got it wrong. Everyone gave irrelevant comments with no value whatsoever: "oh, you are doing good!", "that's awesome". I gave a relevant, to-the-point observation where others just gave phony remarks that rendered the topic an inane popularity "I want to show my kana" contest.

No matter how good or bad my writing skill is, I can still recognize how something is supposed to look, and that enables me to make any type of comment regarding such, specially when asked on the opening post.

Now, if you can't digest criticism, that's your problem.

persil · 12 Jul 2006

Good point.

I'm not the one digesting anything though, I was just making an observation.

( I tried further explaining my point, but I just couldn't state it right, so I will refrain myself from saying anything )

Anyway, chr0nik, way to go. Perseverance is the key

You have a couple of weeks' worth of advance on me, as I'm just finishing to learn hiragana, katakana is still ahead.
