If you are just dipping your toes into the Japanese language you may find out that there are three different scripts to learn: Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana. The latter two are considered the ‘easier’ characters to learn.
To begin with, Hiragana is the very basics of Japanese. In fact, it is like the Japanese alphabet. It is used for native Japanese words.
While writers usually use the Katakana, a sister character set of Hiragana, to represent foreign words and names.
Is Kanji hard to learn? Mastering Kanji is the most difficult part of learning the Japanese language as a beginner (and even those at intermediate to advanced levels!). This is because one single kanji can have multiple meanings, whereas a single Hiragana or Katakana character represents a sound rather than a meaning.
In addition to the difficulty, there are multiple ways to read one kanji. These are two ‘types’ of Kanji: onyomi (derived from Chinese Origin) and kunyomi (Japanese Origin).
Here is an example:
If you’re interested in learning and memorizing Kanji, you’ll find it difficult to do on your own. Without a doubt having someone knowledgeable to guide you can make learning much easier and fun!
