What is the best way to remember both Hiragana and Katakana?
-
For those who understand me.....
-
write it individually on small pieces of paper.
pick one out and read it. do it again and again until you cannot forget. -
I writing everything out, doing the brute force method that I used to do Chinese last time
-
I wouldn't say my method is the best or good way.
But like what my chinese school teacher used to say:-
Listen, speak, read and write.
One bizarre (and insane) method i'm using:
Step 1: Prepare a table with all the syllabus, Hiragana and katakana on separate paper.
Step 2: Play a jap. game with audio speech and text display.
Step 3: Activate your MS Words, with IME and jap language input system
Step 4: Start typing!
ps: the above method may proof to be time wasting and ineffective
( use it at your own risk.....

I forgot to mention I have learned Hiragana about 2 weeks before. Only writing everything out again and again
Problem is, slower in coming out with the words than I would like -
When I started it was also slow. It took an hour re-writing and then keep looking at them and testing yourself mentally the characters for the next 2 days. That's for hiragana.
Katakana, unless you really need to learn first, you should do it at your own pace after you have mastered hiragana, probably after a week. Because Katakana is hell lot difficult to memorise than hiragana. I don't know why.
Also, as mentioned above, try to associate it with the chinese originated word. It helps a lot if you are already strong in chinese, and it is a plus as when Kanji comes along you can use them with ease and even use Kanji to memorise Hiragana. -
