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.
• You'll use katakana's 46 characters for words borrowed from English and other languages.
• Japanese readers need roughly 2,000 kanji to understand newspapers and standard texts.

Japanese grammar follows a Subject-Object-Verb pattern, unlike English's Subject-Verb-Object structure.
