I am Learning Hiragana

a i u e o

Last week, I was having a conversation with a Japanese friend. He can speak English so we were talking in English the whole time. He suggested that I study Japanese writing, starting from hiragana, then katakana and finally kanji so that he may easily teach me words in Japanese. He says that it is sometimes hard to spell out Japanese words using the alphabet (romaji).

If I learned Japanese writing then, I may be able to read Japanese characters then it will be easier for me to learn the language.

So, I followed his advise starting with the much easier hiragana.
