Japanese youngsters just beginning to read and write also will find the easy-to-follow book helpful. Spaces are provided for drawing each hiragana symbol with one, two, or three strokes. \u003cbr\u003eForty-six characters make up the basic Japanese hiragana, or alphabet, with each symbol of the hiragana depicting a syllable rather than a single letter. With these 46 characters, you'll be able to write hundreds of words in Japanese -- from ahiru (duck), ame (candy)' and atama (head) to yuki (snow), yuri (lily), and yubi (finger).\u003cbr\u003eFor each character, there is a selection of ready-to-color illustrations of items whose names begin with that character -- more than 330 words in all -- along with the word in Japanese characters. A separate list accompanies the Japanese word with a transliteration and an English translation. The book also lists 58 hiragana \"modified syllables\" used to form thousands of additional words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50630327468306,"sku":"9780486413365","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_77093641-825e-4585-b433-43fe0c5f47f3.jpg?v=1732749773","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/my-first-hiragana-activity-book-9780486413365","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
