Hiragana Resources

Download the hiragana chart, print it out, and use it to memorize all the hiragana. Another method to memorize the kana is to use apps like Hiragana Memory Hint and Katakana Memory Hint, both by Japan Foundation; Obenkyo; or JustKana. Download links for those apps are listed here. Some people just prefer to write the kana over and over as a method of memorization but the website admin prefers the apps lol.

Also, use the PuniPuni Japan Hiragana E-book
