If you find it difficult, try to make up your own story.<span id=\"more-13\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The easiest and fastest way to learn Japanese characters, whether they are hiragana, katakana or kanji, is to break them down into parts and try to find <a href=\"https:\/\/comoaprenderjapones.net\/en\/method-fan-art\/\">drawings of our everyday<\/a>. After finding these drawings, try to make up a story with them and see the images in your mind (imagination). Over time you will see that when you look at the oriental character, you will soon remember the mentioned vowel and vice versa.<\/p>\n<h2>the vowels of katakana<\/h2>\n<p>\u30a2 = A<br \/>\nI don&#039;t know if you&#039;ll be able to see the same thing I can, but I can see a gun wielded by a person. A kind of revolver with a long handle. If you can&#039;t, use your imagination and try to see something else. Below is the sequence of strokes to draw the symbol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1279 size-full\" title=\"Katakana stroke order A\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/comoaprenderjapones.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/katakana-a-ordem-dos-tracos.jpg?resize=273%2C110&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Katakana stroke order A\" width=\"273\" height=\"110\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u30a4 = I<br \/>\nNow imagine that you are writing the letter \u201ci\u201d.
