Hello guys,
I just want to know, is there any chance, Can I learn Japanese in Hiragana and Katagana?
I don’t want to learn Kanji at the moment, As you know we can write everything in Hiragana and also I can read Hiragana.
I know there is some lesson in Romanjii, I am not interested in this.
Thanks in advance
And I forgot to say, Do not be afraid of the kanji. It isn’t hard like it looks.
@conqueror_uk Of course you can, you could learn Japanese without learning any Kanji what so ever if you wanted.
There are plenty of Japanese vocab courses without Kanji for you to learn from.
For me, I tried to get a good amount of vocab down before any Kanji (500 - 1000 words), as Kanji just seemed difficult to learn to be honest.
Some good vocab courses are:
— Memoryfox’s courses are really helpful, with no Kanji:

— Or jtalkonline’s courses, start with these courses:
Once you have done them, start with the JLPT’s, starting with the lowest level 5:
Just use the ignore function to ignore the Kanji levels.
Or learn the most common words with these courses:
And if you do eventually want to learn Kanji, I would first learn the English meaning of each Kanji first, as it makes it easier to remember them when using them in words. None of that probably makes sense, as when ever I saw people talking about Kanji and the fact that they have meanings, and are also used together to make words confused me like mad.
But if you want to start learning the meanings of them at any point start with either of these courses:
I hope you find this helpful.
