Teaching Japanese "Japanese characters"

I am teaching Japanese to many foreign people.

I cannot imagine how difficult to learn Japanese characters, ひらがな＆カタカナ.

あいうえお
かきくけこ
さしすせそ

How are these letters looked in your eyes?

I like having a look at how my students write these letters when they first write them.

Some of them write them as if they draw pictures.

It is quite interesting for me.

I have just started teaching Japanese to a Canadian guy.

When I was teaching さしすせそ, he suddenly shouted ”すし！sushi”

Yes, you are right. Sushi is the most famous Japanese word in the world.

How many Japanese do you know?

Tell me what you know.
