Japanese uses three distinct writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji.

• Hiragana (ひらがな) contains 46 characters representing syllables, used for native Japanese words and grammar.
• Katakana mirrors hiragana with 46 symbols but handles loanwords and foreign names.
• Japanese readers need roughly 2,000 kanji to understand newspapers and standard texts.

Sentences end with the verb in Japanese, which differs from English word order.

A private tutor can guide you through each writing system at your pace and correct mistakes in real time.
