Hiragana chart (1 Viewer)

[babydoll_]

Could you ex-Jap students help me out please. I want to find a chart of all the hiragana so I can blow it up and put it on my wall, but I can't find one and I don't wanna scan my textbook (it'll bend the spine and crap, plus the book is really heavy).

In my textbooks, the first chart goes (right to left)
(no consonant), k, s, t, n, h, m, y, r, w, n; with the vowel sounds a, i, u, e, o.

The second has g, z, d, b, p with the same vowels as above.

The third chart has the k, s, t, n, h, m, r, h, z, d, b, p with the vowel sounds ya, yu and yo.

And before you tell me to copy it out, my writing isn't that good yet and I'd rather have an exemplar version to look at first.

So anyone who can help me find a chart on the net would be greatly appreciated.

Have you figured out how the system works yet? There are 48 individual characters that you learn, and the rest are just some of those with bits stuck on.

I'll find you a chart now.

Ok Google is doing its work. This you probably can't print off or anything, but it'll be really useful to hear the sounds etc.

This isn't a very good image, as it doesn't explain the irregular pronunciations and it doesn't list the diacritic-enhanced syllables. It is a good one to use while learning to write though, and I guess that's all you need for now. Within a month you'll be competent with both Hiragana and Katakana, so don't fret too much. The best charts are in the actual textbooks (the online ones all insist on being sound-links etc). The image is taken from here: http://www.seanspot.com/jwrite/jwrite-hiragana.htm

Just looking at this site briefly, http://www.seanspot.com/ actually looks like a really good site for beginner and intermediate students of Japanese. Go on, try it!

University textbooks are a lot more intensive than the highschool variety.

What? Damn!

Well, I could ask the Consulate if they still do teaching resources, or you could mail that Japanese Language Center in Victoria.
