Ri&#39;e

My japanese instructor-Hime Sensei told me to use the form that is on the hirigana worksheet (with the connected lines) for learning the movements. She says you will get lax and write it with the 2 line version, that Yan-san gives us, eventually. "It's a handwriting style like writing your f with a backward loop at the bottom." The Katakana version is always drawn as 2 lines. I had to write ri quite a bit due to my name. (Sorry for the strange way of writing my name, my keyboard is not set up for kana or kanji.)
I'm relearning japanese and this site is quite nice. Domo arigato Zonjineko-san

how come there's only a line through t line? maybe there's an issue with my computer? but people have left comments saying there's something to do with r? I'm totally new so i don't know... just wondering

HI thx for the comment. I'm not quite sure what you mean about "a line through the t line"? Is this on the pdf file?

Yan

Hey! Thanks a lot for your hiragana chart and useful notes! However I found some inaccuracies in it. ri is supposed to be り, not the one in the chart. But it may be just due to the font used :)

Thx ^_^ I can't see any errors with the "ri" hiragana - where did you see the error?

Thx Ian ^_^

Arigato Gozaimasu,
And thanks for all the hard work and great tweets, etc you put and research.

:D
Right now I'm learning Hirigana was an awesome (and free!) app from the iPod/iPhone app store called Japanese Phrases (Beginning Japanese Words and Phrases) and it's really good to help memorize and learn the Hirigana and their pronounciation! And it has quizzes, lessons and study- and flashcards. Just thought I'd spread the word ^_^

This is super helpful! I have things like flashcards to practice Hiragana but I've had trouble finding guides on how to write them not just identify them. Thanks for giving free worksheets like these! (:

No problem glad you enjoy them ^_^
