Google a hiragana table, copy it into word (or whatever, but keep the origional site up in a different window), turn up the font size to something you can see very clearly - maybe so each character is the size of your thumb, print it, cut them out, write the Romaji on the back of each (using the site to help) and your sorted

Thanks, Mr Shadow. I've done that now.

Writing the characters still might be difficult. I have seen sites that show you which order to do the strokes in, but I still wouldn't be that confident that what I, as an Englishman, see as being right would necessarily look right to a native Japanese person. But I'll learn in the end. It might just take a bit longer as I'm an old man.

私もイギリス人です! - I'm an Englishman too!

I'm also becoming an old man (a grumpy one at that if you read the majority of my posts) but if I can do it, you can


I'm sorry for all the bad stuff I said and all the feelings I hurt.. Please forgive me
