Most anime characters speak Tokyo-ben or Ibaraki-ben, two similar dialects to Hyojungo, which is the standard Japanese taught in schools. Should I learn romaji or hiragana first?ĭo I need to learn it before trying to learn Hiragana? Any help is appreciated! Romaji is just how the characters are pronounced, there is no benefit of learning it, aside for as a stepping stone to master hiragana and katakana. For instance, we type K U R U M A, then IME displays くるま in Hiragana. There are two methods to type, Romaji Nyuuryoku (Romaji Input) and Kana Nyuuryoku (Kana Input). Japanese keyboard has an alphabet letter and a Hiragana letter on the key top. Japanese people use a Japanese keyboard to type. Kana is traditionally said to have been invented by the Buddhist priest Kūkai in the ninth century. Hiragana developed as a distinct script from cursive man’yōgana, whereas katakana developed from abbreviated parts of regular script man’yōgana as a glossing system to add readings or explanations to Buddhist sutras.
