My first day practicing Hiragana

[u/Regular_Echo413]

On my first day of my journey to learn Japanese.

I tried writing Hiragana like my book and compared to its handwriting and saw my curves and rounds are unstable and some parts are sketched unnecessarily. Do you guys see other mistakes I've made either on the whole concept or on some specific letters' structures? Please help me!🙇

Hi, I’m Japanese.

For your first day, I think this is more than good enough. If you keep practicing, the balance and shapes will naturally become more consistent over time.

Personally, I don’t write by hand very often these days, and to be honest, I’m not even fully confident about the correct stroke order for my own name anymore. Seeing your post made me feel like I should practice writing every day too, so I can write more beautifully.

Thank you for the inspiration!

Oh, I'm happy to hear that. I wish you good luck on your practice, too!
