Your 7-Day Plan
Spend about 20 to 30 minutes a day. Each day, learn the new row, then review everything from earlier days.
- Day 1: Vowels and K row. あ い う え お and か き く け こ.
- Day 2: S and T rows. さ し す せ そ and た ち つ て と.
- Day 3: N row and H row. な に ぬ ね の and は ひ ふ へ ほ.
- Day 4: M, Y and R rows. ま み む め も, や ゆ よ and ら り る れ ろ.
- Day 5: W row and ん. わ を ん, then review all 46.
- Day 6: Test yourself. Cover the sounds and read the chart in random order. Write the ones you miss.
- Day 7: Read real words. Read simple words such as さくら (sakura), ねこ (neko) and みず (mizu).
Tips That Make It Stick
- Write each character by hand, following the stroke order, while saying the sound.
- Use a small story or picture for look-alike pairs such as さ and き, or ぬ and め.
- Review a little every day. Short repeated practice beats one long session.
- Avoid romaji as early as possible so you read Japanese, not letters.
