So I wanted to share a little tip with you guys on how I maintain and train my writing skills on Hiragana. First of all, I used to do this a lot. Like a couple times a day, and it really does help you getting Hiragana into your mind.
Right now I do this: look up a Japanese song you like (or not…), search for the romaji lyrics… and translate it to Hiragana! It’s a really good training since you train your writing skills as well as you Hiragana skills. You’ll also be learning to do Romaji>Hiragana faster, too, instead of the usual Hiragana>Romaji.
Hope this helps some of you guys too! Good luck with studying the best language in the world ^_^-

猫は可愛いです！This actually sounds like a fantastic idea! Currently I also use the drag ‘n’ drop site and it’s quite helpful, but transcribing song lyrics is perfect practice, thanks for the tip!
Apathy is the Enemy of Creativity.You could try listening to a song (start with slow songs) and write what you hear, then look up the lyrics in hiragana and check yourself. I’ve never tried this, and I suspect it’s pretty challenging as a beginner since you will be doing it all phonetically one mora at a time without the ability to pick out too many words or phrases. But from my experience, many intermediate learners struggle with listening since they’ve mainly studied from books. In addition to the writing practice, practicing listening and transcribing early on might help you substantially later on to isolate new words in spoken sentences.
