Being an otaku (Japanese cartoons/comics or anime/manga maniac), i strongly believe that Jap (short for Japanese, not with offensiveness, my fingers will get cramp too if i keep typing such long things, u know 
) cultures are increasingly penetrating into the youth's lifestyle especially teenage's and playing not a minor but remarkable role in our developing society. An obvious instance is that of... anime & manga 
. As clearly as i can see, there are more and more people, <strike>tons</strike>... err i mean millions of people been driven wild before the magical attraction of these stuff, rushing like crazy (to the bookstore :gem21: ) for their desire of anime & manga being satisfied. Anime & manga are the world of fantasy & miracle, of feelings & emotions, of all the beautiful things which can exist even in people's mind :gem30: . But, trust me, Jap cultures & arts are not only about those things, they're a lot more interesting than you've ever imagined They're one of the very main & important keys which would lead you to understanding the perfection of humanity :th_blobflower:
Ok ok, i was a little off topic :gem31: but truly, everything needs a smooth beginning to easily flow through their journey right !!! Ok ok, that's for the introduction. For now, we come to discuss about the main topic... LEARNING JAPANESE. :iei: (yeeha ... XD)
Someone may ask "why the hell is it sooooo difficult to learn about Jap with all those wriggled characters???", i might as well answer that certain someone: Jap writing basis is composed of Hiragana, Katakana & Kanji (don't be confused so soon, we're just at the starting line man :emlaugh. Those 3 are types of Jap characters' writing, normally all are combined in any Jap text. Hiragana is the easiest we could learn here, since it's the simplified Jap characters, commonly used in every daylife (of a Jap ). Katakana & Kanji have Chinese origin - a bit harder (Katakana) and a lot more brain-wrenching, so we just temporarily set them aside for now, i'll mention them later when we get through the Hiragana thingy XD...
Here i post the full Hiragana chart, containing 46 normal and 58 special characters.
Ok ok, have fun studying the first Jap alphabet, now i'm off to watch some anime episodes just downloaded. Will come back sometimes
Ja ne!!!
