Katakana Chart
Learning Katakana was a bit of a different experience from learning and writing Hiragana. The symbols are much sharper, with fewer loops and softer edges. I remember writing the letters and having to make fast strokes and hold the pencil in a certain way so that I didn't accidentally make the line too long or too short. As well as timing, I feel that went into making sure the letters were at the very least readable. I found the letters to be a bit harder to remember strangely enough, despite how simple the shapes appear to be. I do know that 'RO' looks like a little box and I find that cute and memorable. Like learning Hiragana, this is like learning to write basic words in English in preschool and kindergarten. Matching the shapes and symbols to the pictures shown again is humbling. I feel like a kid again. I find it weird that there have been two writing systems for, speaking mostly English all my life. I won't claim to understand it, but I don't shun it...
