"Master Hiragana in a 2/4 week course!"

hi

We are offering free lessons to master hiragana in 4 weeks (or 2 weeks). We

will send you links to the learning material via email in 8 lots. Once you have
downloaded the learning material, follow the instructions and take the quizzes
to master hiragana!
Hiragana is basically used to express 46 different sounds used in the
Japanese language. You will learn these 46 hiragana over the course of 8
lessons - Japanese will become a lot easier to study after having learned
hiragana. Also, as you will be able to write sentences in Japanese, you will be
able to write E-mails in hiragana.
On the following page is a hiragana and katakana chart - please stick it
somewhere visible so that you can constantly refer to it.
To master hiragana, it is important to practice writing hiragana. Revision is
also very important - please go over what you have learned several times.
