In the last lesson, we learned how to read かきくけこ.
This time, we focused on how to write them step by step.
📚<Review> How the Hiragana Looks
Before we start writing か, き, く, け, こ, let’s look at some quick tips for writing hiragana properly.
When practicing hiragana, it’s helpful to use cross lines on your paper to keep the characters balanced.
- ・The vertical line helps keep the letters straight.
- ・The horizontal line helps balance the top and bottom of each character.
Most hiragana letters are 1–3 strokes, so they are quite easy to draw!
For example:
- あ = 3 strokes い = 2 strokes
Keep these tips in mind as you practice, and your hiragana writing will look neat and balanced.
