I remember when I started to write the basic Japanese characters called Hiragana. It was when I was… maybe more or less 4 yrs old in daycare center I was going. Maybe I leaned how to write them from my mother or my father, and I really enjoyed exchanging letters with my friends. The letters were even like a sentence but instead it included drawings and graffiti which I just put my name and my friends’ name on paper.
Next step was after I entered elementary school, I started learn how to write three kinds of Japanese characters which are Hiragana, Katakana, and Chinese characters. I can understand people from different background are often surprised to see my writings in Japanese because I use three different kinds of characters at the same time but they establish my language. The first time I learned how to write my name in Chinese characters, I was so happy and I showed them everyone I met. I was such a kid who liked to write letters on everything.
For me, it was quite hard to keep practicing learning Chinese characters because they are uncountable … I still have bunch of characters that I can’t write in my own language.

hahaha, i think i know how u feel about learning japanese because i learned japanese before. for me, it was a pretty interesting experience to learn japanese. first of all, u need to learn ur" so-called "hiragana and katakana, then u can pronounce every words even though u dont understand the meanings of the words. for me, it's kind of funny, cuz i can pronouce it but i dont know anything about it. i feel bad to stop learning japanese but i think i will try to learn it again in the future........ cuz i still remember everything that i learned before.
Eriko, I am very sure that you learned a lot about Japonise language characteristics because it is your language but I suggest you to fix your tittle because I am a little cofused what does mean [leant].
I have a similar kind of situation as you about writng literacy. I also worte a letter to my cousins lliving far away from me. In the letter, i wrote about how i was teased by my brothers. Hahaha...It was so funny because i just pretended as if i were adult.... know how to erite a letter.
Eriko.
I wrote comments for you on last thursday but gone. I know how to write Japanese and Chinese little bit. I also like learnning other language. As you knew, Korean and Japanese have same grammer, similar intonation and pronunciation so learning both Korean and Japanese is easy for us. Try to learn Korean.
what is " Hiragana, Katakana"?
Is it a kind of phonetic symbol?
