Hiragana and Katakana Eigo Friends
The Hiragana and Katakana characters have been designed to help the very youngest children learn the sounds of Japanese. We envisage our characters as soft toys and playing cards for use in Japanese nursery schools. A library of simple animations with songs should be built up for the most effective use.
