The story behind this kana notebook

A lot of my friends at work are from other countries and find reading and writing Japanese difficult. They’ve been begging me to make this workbook! A lot of customers have been asking for one too!

I built it around the same method I used to teach my son and my late husband, who was a foreigner.

Since I put everything together myself, I really hope I haven’t missed anything. But if you notice something, please let me know!

And if you have any ideas or feedback, I would love to hear them too!

I sincerely hope this workbook makes learning and memorizing hiragana and katakana easier for you!

Thank you so much for always supporting me and cheering me on!

いつも本当にありがとうございます!

Xoxo,
Tomoe
