Writing practice is the most effective method of mastering written Japanese, and the large, open format of this workbook is designed to invite the student to pick up a pencil and start writing. Written Japanese comprises two phonetic syllabaries, hiragana and katakana, and a set of kanji characters which are based on Chinese ideographs. This workbook has been carefully designed to facilitate the quick and easy mastery of the forty-six character katakana syllabary, which is used to write words of foreign origin" and is the perfect tool to begin the process of mastering written Japanese. Each character is introduced with brushed, handwritten, and typed samples that enhance character recognition. Extensive space for writing allows maximum practice to facilitate memorization and ensure proper character formation. Entertaining illustrations and amusing examples of loanwords that use katakana in Japanese writings further reinforce memorisation in a fun way. This series (comprising Writing Hiragana and Writing Katakana) presents the Japanese written language in an attractive and accessible format with an emphasis on active student involvement. Special features in the series include the use of grayed-out trace-over characters for correct character construction, extensive practice in writing sentences for maximum reinforcement, and supplementary explanations, including a brief history of the origin of each character, to foster visual recall.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is an introductory guide and workbook to writing Japanese Katakana. Anybody who is able to master English, with its irregular spellings and idiosyncratic pronunciations, is more than equipped to master written Japanese. The hiragana and katakana syllabaries are purely phonetic characters, which function much like the letters of the English alphabet. In this respect, kana are quite different from kanji characters, which are based on Chinese ideographs and which represent ideas. The katakana syllabary is used primarily to represent borrowed words (from languages other than Chinese), although it is also used for botanical names and is sometimes used in place of hiragana or kanji for emphasis. In some ways, the use of katakana in Japanese parallels the use of italics in English. Writing practice is the most effective method of mastering written Japanese, and the large open format of this workbook is designed to invite the student to pick up a pencil and start writing.
