Japonca öğrenmeye sıfırdan başladım ve hiragana karakterlerini doğru biçimde, doğru çizgi sırasıyla yazmayı bu rehber sayesinde kavradım. Stroke order'ın neden bu kadar önemli olduğunu en başta anlamak işimi çok kolaylaştırdı. Her karakter için adım adım pratik yapabildiğim için yazılarım giderek düzgünleşti. Artık tüm hiragana tablosunu ezberden ve düzgün şekilde yazabiliyorum. Japoncaya yeni başlayan herkese gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye ederim.
