Easy and Fun Hiragana Workbook: First Steps to Basic Japanese Writing

Easy and Fun Hiragana Workbook for Japanese Learners

This book is designed for anyone who wants to enjoy learning how to read and write hiragana characters. With plenty of illustrations, it’s engaging for learners of all ages—but don’t be mistaken, it’s not just for children! The workbook also introduces many useful everyday phrases, helping readers to gain practical conversational Japanese alongside their hiragana practice.

Japanese writing consists of three systems: hiragana, katakana and kanji. Hiragana is the first script taught in schools, followed by katakana and then kanji. To help with reading, the pronunciation of difficult kanji is often written above them in small hiragana—this is called furigana. This workbook teaches you how to read furigana as it appears in manga, newspapers and other texts.

If writing isn’t your first priority, the reading exercises will still be of great benefit. Being able to read stories, manga or everyday Japanese on your own is a wonderful motivator for making progress. Whatever your goals, this book will help you enjoy learning hiragana while building a foundation in practical Japanese.

Part of the Easy and Fun series, this workbook is specially designed for foreign learners living in Japan or anyone abroad who wants to master hiragana quickly while gaining useful Japanese for daily life. With plenty of real-life example sentences, you’ll learn both the basics of the script and expressions you can use straight away.
