Foundation
Hiragana (ひらがな) is a phonetic writing system in Japanese consisting of 46 basic characters that represent specific sounds. Hiragana is essential for writing grammatical elements, native words, and sentence structure.
Hiragana supports Kanji by showing pronunciations and completing words. Because anything in Japanese can be written in Hiragana, it serves as a universal fallback for reading and writing. Mastering it early is crucial for building a strong foundation in Japanese.
