I am currently in an intro to Japanese class and we have learned Hiragana and Katakana.
It's been a few weeks now and a lot of the symbols do not stick … especially Katakana. I like using duolingo nd other apps solely for the purpose of practicing my reading fluency … but anywhere I look, most of the words are written in Hiragana.
While I understand that's mostly because Hiragana is used more, I want to be able to learn my Katakana more since now, I make a fool of myself in class for being unable to read words without looking back to my charts.
I have ordered basic Japanese reading books but I don't know what I'm reading so I don't know if there is a point to it.
So … I was wondering if anyone has encountered this and which way you found was easier for you to get comfortable reading as fluently as possible … since my class is progressing and I'm stuck behind struggling with my reading.
