Does anyone have a good site that demonstrates how to writes the combination-hiragana such as... kyu, myo ect? And also I came across 2 sites that showed how to write hiragana. One is for kids (http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/say/hiragana.html) and the other is the http://members.aol.com/writejapan/index.htm, the one for and JW show hiragana writen differently, can someone tell me which to follow or if there is really much of a difference? sweatdrop
Thats the problem with teaching yourself something, can't be sure you are doing it right... anyways thanks.

Best way to go about it is to learn the charts through memorization and repeated writing. Flash cards work well, too. Anything to drill it into your head would be for the best.
I'll dig something up regarding the correct stroke order for the kana if I still have my intro level books.

And my questions about hiragana were: When I went to the kids site so I could find the combination hiragana like kyo ect, the kids site showed something completely different from http://members.aol.com/writejapan/index.htm so I was just wondering if there was a correct way to write it or are both right, if you go to the sites find the hiragana for ki and compare them.... confused

I wish I could tell you what the difference between the two sites is, but for some bizarre reason, the AOL based page refuses to load for me. D:

There are two ways of writing hiragana, and they are both correct. One of them is similar to writing in cursive (or, as my Japanese teacher told me, a style her grandmother would write in), and the other way is pretty much the same with a few differences here and there. If you're serious about learning hiragana, katakana, and kanji, then I would personally suggest going here: http://www.declan-software.com/?referrer=ADWORDS_DECLAN_SOFTWAREFrom there, you can download one or more of five programs for reading and writing Japanese (or several other languages). You can download the demos for free, though getting the full programs are sure to cost a few bucks; I think I paid about $60 for the whole set. However, the programs themselves are very effective; I was able to teach myself hiragana and katakana within a couple months, and even a fair number of kanji, a full year before I started Japanese class. They teach the "old" way of writing hiragana and katakana, but as my teacher told me, it is still correct.

You download it directly from the website. You won't have access to all the features right away; they'll let you check out the first three "chapters" of each program you download, as a demo. If you like the program(s), you go back to the website, pay them with a credit/debit card for what you plan to keep, and then they send you an email with the User Code(s) you need to access the rest of the program(s). That way, you can start using it right away.
And, if you don't like the program, you can always delete it from your system instead of buying it. biggrin
