Teach Yourself Beginner's Japanese Script will make the reading and writing of Japanese accessible to you through a step-by-step approach which will help you to gradually build up your knowledge of Japanese script.

You will learn how to build stories to remember the meanings of the kanji and there are plenty of examples from real-life signs and notices to put the language in context. Unit 5 is devoted to hiragana and Unit 9 to katakana. There are lots of practice activities and ideas to help you learn and remember these two scripts.
