#japanese writing
The Japanese language uses three writing systems: kanji, hiragana, and katakana.
Kanji are logograms – each character has a specific meaning. It is used to write “content” words such as nouns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives.
Hiragana and katakana are syllabaries – each character represents a single syllable sound rather than a meaning. Hiragana is used for showing verb inflections, for prepositions, and other “function” words. Katakana is used for imported words of non-Japanese origin.
My work above contains 5 kanji characters:
春 (spring)
日 (sun)
鳥 (bird)
還 (return)
飛 (fly).
My name is not Japanese, so it is written in katakana : ビクトリア.

01.08/2015: More hiragana practicing and memorizing. Almost there! Next will be katakana. On a different note, summer is coming to an end where I live. It´s getting cloudy here, so I´m going to lift my mood up with some cake and coffee.
