In 2023, we continue with our efforts in mastering our Hiragana recognition and reading. There are basic 46 Hiragana letters in the Japanese writing system. They have been divided into different belt colours shown below. To progress to the next belt level you will need to recognise and read fluently a set of sight words made from the learned Hiragana. Certificate of Recognition will be presented at school assembly when student achieve the Blue and Black belts respectively.
