It's called "furigana" and most kid's works are written in it. It will also help you learn some of the basic kanji.

Just quit now.

>>432081
I started learning to write it a few days ago and can work with both fairly well. I have a good command of writing them, not reading them.

Do you have any kid books on torrent or anything? I'd like to learn Japanese, but I've just had two days to even start... I'm gonna start working on reading and pronunciation today.

i learned both hiragana and katagana from rapedoujins' moans and sound effects as should you too

>>432101
Something leads me to believe that that's how half of the Japanese populace learned hiragana when they were kids.

>>432081
this.

also, look for みんなうんち. it was an incredibly eye-opening and, ahem, moving book.

http://www.hiragana.jp/ (adds furigana)
http://sp.cis.iwate-u.ac.jp/sp/lesson/j/doc/furigana.html (same thing)
http://nihongo.j-talk.com/parser/ (furigana, romajic conversion + meanings and more)

slime forest. looks shitty as hell but helps much.

I use this whenever I've got a spare few minutes, just a free java app for mobile phones, you'll want kanaQ

>>432128

Looks like an interesting book. I wish they would explain the process more in-depth though.

>>432101
fuck yeah me too

>>432134
>>432140
Thanks a lot guys.

By the way, I'm not trying to learn Japanese to look fancy. I'm learning it because I'm moving to an area with a high concentration of Japanese nationals and I need to know the language.

>>432163
We don't care why you're learning such a useless language.

>>432168
You're right, it doesn't really matter.

>>432168
Seconded. You could have just said that you're a fat fuck and the best you could get for a girlfriend was a yaoi fangirl, and that you just wanted to learn japanese to read the hardcopies of her doujinshi. You'd get a few more sages, but we really don't care.

>>432163
>I'm not trying to learn Japanese to look fancy

that's ok but say you are when you're posting on /jp/, you'll get more sages and more bumps (every now and then someone "forgets his sage") which results in more replies and fun trolling

good luck op

Everyone learning Japanese on /jp/ has extremely important reasons for doing so.

>>432283

Like for when the barriers around /a/ and /jp/ finally give in due to the cracks, and the normalfaggotry comes rushing through and we must make the great journey to 2channel.

>>432271
Thanks a lot. I wonder though, do I have to learn Japanese manners and customs when I start working?

Probably, so I have to take some classes on that.

Thanks again all you guys.

Speaking of Hiragana, know what threads i miss?

>>432294
2channel is full of fags. I don't think I could bear posting there.

勇気があれば日本語を使ってさっさとレスしろ！

>>432283
At least as important as people taking any other language that they will probably never use and immediately forget.

>>432340
HAHA, you should check 4chan then.

The cancer level is a lot lower on ２ちゃんねる and they have boards like "law" and "employment", not just the vip stuff.

>>432294
Don't kill /jp/ yet. We still have a months before having to move again.

force yourself to play Mother 3 on GBA, untranslated

>>432756
how can you kill something that's already dead?

>>432770
something dies when it is killed

>>432766
that's... not really in hiragana/katakana

superior

>>432321 Thanks a lot. I wonder though, do I have to learn Japanese manners and customs when I start working?

read Fear and Trembling
it's short, available as a movie, and describes what your life will be if you fail at japanese workplace traditions

Don't forget these:
ヰ　ゑ　ゐ　ヱ

>>433097
All the Fear and Trembling movie taught me is that French accents are hot, especially in Japanese. Also all Japanese women are backstabbing bitches, apparently.

>>433097

They behead you?

>>433061
I will now proceed to hijack this thread to request any Touhou-related moon-learning material.

Furigana-enabled doujins are welcome.

>>433130
obsolete...obsolete...obsolete aaaand obsolete

nope

>>433162
My name is obsolete?

>>433145
>Furigana-enabled doujins

Hahahaha, no.
Doujinshi is for adults.

>>433315

You're the only reason I remember ゐ

ヱ is used for ヱビス･ビール and new evangelion movie is written ヱヴァンリオン in katakana.
but eva should be エヴァ, no W sound at all. fuck GAINAX.

>>433381
It's not technically wrong, just archaic.

Pick up a few japanese manga, you can usually get them cheap if they've already been released in the US translated. To improve your reading speed go to a karaoke place that uses Japanese machines, everything will be in hiragana or kanji. You could also try a Japanese PS2 and Dream Audition/Karaoke Revolution.

omg. stop being faggots and use kanji dammit.
read your porn with dignity rike the rest of us.

>>433476
seconded

>>433476
You are not going to read shit without knowing Hiragana, proof you fail and don't know shit.

>>433655
He was only telling the furigana-fags to learn kanji.

>>433476
Thirded. Anyways, porn doesn't have furigana.

>>433682
Not everyone reads porn and your are wrong.

>>433724
I'd be gladly proved wrong.
