RE: 002 Learning Japanese - Hiragana Practice
You don't need to be such a perfectionist. You can breeze through hiragana in the time it would take to write this article three times. Especially if you speak Chinese! Don't waste your time learning anything out of context. Learn words as you learn hiragana. You can start with Japanese words you know like sushi, sake, wasabi, samurai. And if you can read Chinese you can use some words that you already know the characters for (some will be a little different if you learned simplified, but very similar).
Try these
女 おんな
男 おとこ
車 くるま
人 ひと
猫 ねこ
Words like that.
Or you could start with some basic Japanese sentence structure and learn the hiragana needed.
私は人です。 わたしはひとです I am a person Watashi ha hito desu.
You can study 8 hiragana together and simultaneously practice vocabulary and grammar. Change the word 人 to any word you come across, just for fun. You can quickly learn to say "I am not a bird".
