konnichiwa you cathain sedis today I
want to use this lesson to answer a
question about hiragana that I received
from so many students some hiragana
liras are written in two different ways
why many of you must have wondered about
these two letters ki and SAP there are
two types of these letters why is that
let me explain the reason and also which
one you should learn to write the one on
the left is called ninja font and the
one on the right is called your passion
font in the majority of printed matter
structures books newspapers magazines
and the website this mincho font is
widely used so I believe a new type
hiragana on your computer of a phone you
will get this version if you want to
check you can quickly type key or app on
your phone now and you see which one you
will get I'm pretty sure that you get
dispersion ninja font
now let me add my handwriting of these
two letters here so this is how I write
key and Enza which fund looks closer to
my handwriting
right Yokoso font right this is the
version of a hiragana that we native
Japanese learn in school when we study
hiragana for the very first time as a
child to avoid confusing young Japanese
children who are still learning hiragana
the textbooks for the first and second
graders in Japan are all printed in this
fund joke a shot means
extabit in Japanese so colossal font
means the font that is used in textbooks
I don't know why they didn't stick to
Colchis your phone to print all the
materials in Japan but I don't know
maybe people in the publishing industry
felt mingzhou font looks more stylish or
something I don't know
but as they created more and more fancy
looking phones some hiragana let us end
up looking quite different between the
original handwritten version and the
printed version but you actually see the
same thing exist in English too for
instance when you type the alphabet a
most of the time you get something like
this
right but my English teacher back in the
middle school taught me to write the
alphabet a like this so this is how I
write this alphabet and I believe most
of you do too
so the mismatch between the print it
Fund and a handwritten letter do exist
in English as well
and please keep in mind even though you
wrote chess at like this Japanese people
will still read your letter as sir
because our brain has been trained to
recognize various versions of one single
letter like this they all looks at the
native Japanese people so if you have
already developed the habit of writing
you are sat like miniature font you can
stick with it okay but if you are still
in the process of learning hiragana were
about to start with hiragana then I
highly recommend learning the hundred
own version of each hiragana simply
because that's how we native Japanese
write those letters that's why I or any
Japanese language teachers teach the
hundred um versions of the hiragana in
Japanese classes once you master the
basic shape of each letter then from
there you can develop your own
handwriting styles let me show you some
example handwriting by my students at
the college take a look at this app you
can see that each person has his or her
own style right but they all have one
thing in common this part is not
connected
same goes with their key every student's
handwriting shows its own character but
they are all consistent in the respect
that this part is not connected
so ideally I want you to develop your
own Honda writing style with the basics
in place like my students at the college
okay for the rest of today's lesson I'm
going to list other hiragana nellis that
typically have a difference between the
pre-need font and a hundred own letter
then I'll teach you how to write the
letter correctly in the hundred
inversion I'll also leave the timestamps
for each letter for your convenience in
the description box below okay these are
the hiragana letters that you need to be
especially careful not to copy the ninja
font when you practice writing Ashera
ghana letters
he sat now who knew more
by the way you can download the hiragana
chart and the practice sheets on my
website I always use cocoa font to
create hiragana materials so rest
assured that you are not going to learn
the wrong shapes of hiragana by using my
materials
okay let's begin with hiragana key this
is how you handle write this letter
correctly eg stop me stop some brush-up
young stop
he dagonets up
et stop
II
brush up
stop
hiragana nah Ichi stop me stop son
blush down young a loop at the end and
stop point number one
be sure to stop the second of stroke
around here it doesn't go all the way
down to the bottom point number two keep
stroke number three below this line so
you are not shouldn't look like this
point number three please do not do this
I mean down and then who I sometimes see
my students right they are not like this
please do not do it
be sure to stop for stroke number four
hiragana whoo et brush down me release
some brush up young stop make sure to
keep stroke number 3 and n 4 above the
bottom line so you should write your
hook like this see the number 3 & 4 are
players to be row at the bottom when I
write this is not good
here Ivana Ichi plays normal on the left
side of the square and then coming down
a loop here and still going goes up and
then release some stop keep this loop
long and the thing in a nicely place it
along with this line just like you did
for the hiragana soup so be careful not
to write your look like this
hiragana more et
release me stop son stop
keep stroke number two and three the
same length also be careful not to write
even more too skinny like this or too
chubby like this
hiragana
et brush up me release both strokes are
slightly curved like this they are not
completely straight and Stroke number
two is almost twice longer than number
one
I hope this lesson helped you to
understand why there are two ways to
write some hiragana letters you can find
the hiragana lessons for all the 46
basic letters on this channel
also the current complete the program
