In Japanese, pronunciation must be accurate—and handwriting should look good too! Many beginners skip stroke order, so their characters end up uneven later. Todaimae Japanese prepared a complete Gojuon Stroke Order & Writing Practice Zone. From tapping to view standard stroke order, to handwriting scored by the system, plus detailed teaching videos—step by step you'll build standard Japanese handwriting!
Japanese hiragana comes from Chinese cursive kanji, while katakana comes from kanji radicals. Correct stroke order (left to right, top to bottom) not only makes characters look better—it also builds muscle memory! Tap any letter in the chart below to see the correct stroke-order animation and hear our native Japanese teachers' standard pronunciation.
After watching stroke order, it's time to practice for real! Todaimae introduces a new Handwriting Scoring System. On phone, tablet, or computer, simply use your finger or mouse to trace the dotted lines—the system instantly scores your stroke order, proportions, and shape! Many self-learners get the proportions of 「あ」 and 「ア」 wrong. Can you score 90% or higher?
