Continued: Learn Japanese for free (PART-II)

Once, we are thorough with the Hiragana script,
We can proceed towards the next level and get acquainted with The Katakana Script.

As mentioned earlier, this script is used for reading or writing the English or Foreign words.

For example:
Coffee is called Kohi & written as コ ヒ

OR
America is called as Aamerika & written as アメリカ

Note: It's important to write the strokes of each Hiragana or Katakana letter properly.
Because sometimes there can be a confusion between letters such as :
shi (シ) and tsu (ツ)

One more interesting thing to note is that most proper nouns get changed in Japanese.

So, once in Japan, there is a great chance our name won't get pronounced properly. 😔

Never mind, Happy Learning! 😁
