Currently Playing: A simple change turns the hidden enemy into your friend. Japanese kana input, kana keyboard

A hidden enemy lurks behind your Japanese acquisition. Use kana input to turn it to your advantage. ▼Free kana type training app plus a special note for Mac users▼ My patron 春のホープさん has made a free app to help in the early stages of kana typing. If you already touch type it won't take nearly as long as doing it in Romaji for the first time, but this app gets you started. 春のホープさん recomends: "Do 15 mins a day for a week introducing 3 columns each day." The App is here: https://bryophyte77.github.io/ For Mac users: Kana keyboard sticker sets are made for Windows computers, and there are a few differences in the keyboard layout. You will want to use transparent stickers since stickers that have both the Western and Japanese characters will have wrong pairings on these few keys. Here is a guide to the keys affected. The ゛ten-ten character modifier is on the [ (open square bracket) key. The ゜maru character modifier is on the +plus key. へ is where it says む is (and む is the next-door key) ろ is shift-け. 「 open quote is shift-+ and 」close-quote is shift-[ (where open-quote is on Windows). It sounds worse than it is, you soon get used to it!
