Rayne, I don't like this method, I used it for to memorize verbs.
Here you can find it:
DreamKana hiragana and katakana flash card software. Dream, Katakana

hank you but why don't you like it?Anything wrong with it?

i learned with flash cards also. after you can identify them really fast, move on to the next set of 5 characters. if you have a hard time, try to associate the characters with something you will remember... such as "mu" looks like a cows face that goes moooo, "ku" is cool because it's easy, blah blah :) that's how i learned it. after you learn it randomly lay them down and try to read the fake/real words you just laid out, that will help you read faster too.

Thank you for saying so.I'll experiment with this method too.Sounds pretty useful.

Well, I think transcripting is the better way, but it's just my personal opinion, I used this method because I wanted to translate several things.
If you don't have, maybe the flash cards could be even better - it has a lot of enthusiasts here, so can't be bad.
Go ahead, you will assimile it quickly.

XD,I hope you didn't try to learn Ancient Greek.But that was the method I used at first.

relate the sounds

and the looks of the hiragana and katakana with something you qkno

for example え reminds me of e cause they look similiar so i won't forget it (:

If you don\'t have the brain capacity to memorize hiragana at the very least, you won\'t ever pull of learning Japanese. Kanji is also of big importance, and I find it really hard to imagine you mastering a language like JP, if you cannot even memorize hiragana. O_O

I suggest that you write many words as practice.
It is too hard to mamorize only by seeing books or computer screen.

This way also effective for memorize words or kanji.
