I’ve thrown a bunch of suggestions at the bounty button at the bottom of the textfugu page, but it may be some time before they get acted upon. That’s okay for the most part, but I’d like to ask about what seems to be an important omission. I can’t find anywhere that it shows you how to write the hiragana – you know, the brush order, is it left to right etc. A link to a video would be great to include.

However it might help to see animated stroke orders, which aren’t too hard to find online.

Thanks for that. I’m okay personally, but I wanted the textfugu to be complete, and I couldn’t imagine how such an important point would be overlooked. BTW, I hope that your expression in your profile photo isn’t the effect of studying Japanese! ;-)

There’s a little kana table at the right-hand side so you can click to the page you want to see :)

Not sure how to make something a link (haven’t used any HTML since MySpace used it) but it’s there, just look for the chapter on Hiragana and click on a character.

EDIT I posted this and it came out as a link. Who knew it was that easy lol? :P

They show you stroke order when you click on the characters, and they give you hints when to help remember how to make the kana look really nice. The free preview has hiragana, but if you want katakana you’d have to purchase a version (I have the iPhone version and like it a lot). Below is a link to the preview:

I also use these sheets for just practicing writing:

There was in MY day! :P
