Hey guys! I searched on Google, but couldn't come up with anything. Does anyone know where I could print some Hiragana Worksheets? Or does anyone know any good materials like that, that I can print or something? I found a few, like two weeks ago, but I was hoping you guys would know where some more are. Any type of Worksheets, study materials, or helpful things will be appreciated! ARIGATOU

IMO blank paper works just fine... That said, I do have a PDF file for hiragana worksheets. If you're interested in this, e-mail me at raj@velocity.lunarpages.com and I can hook you up

Go here David Hallgren's website (http://www.davidhallgren.se/nihon/)! He has some great stuff on there, and he also has a forum where some questions you have may already have been asked and answered!

Good chart, however it doesn't have stroke order. Bama, know that stroke order is EXTREMELY important in Japanese! You must write hiragana, katakana and ESPECIALLY kanji in the correct order. It will look incorrect and very akward if you do not do it correctly.

The pattern is usually left to right top to bottom, and you'll start to see what strokes to do first after a year or so practice writing with kanji, but if you can find somewhere that gives you the stroke ORDER of those hiragana start there. You don't want to get stuck with the wrong order in your mind.

Remember that if you have questions continue to ask, many times other readers are helped by questions like this, or people who are not members yet are attracted by the info provided in threads here. I worked very hard on a Tanka many months back and was helped a GREAT deal by members on the forum, especially Golgo. He got banned (and I'm still not too happy about that...), but there are many members who are still remaining that will always gladly help.

BTW, the kanji flash card section of that site ROCKS for beginniers. I just wish it had more kanji on it!

Arigatou guys. I have Hallgren's website as a bookmark lol. Also, yes I got some of the stroke order stuff off of about.com, Many people say it is important to know the stroke. Thanks again!

There is a java program for the kana at the Teach Yourself Japanese website. It shows stroke order, if you need a reference. There aren't any worksheets to print out, though.
