Hiragana and Katakana charts

While moving furniture around today I came across my old Japanese hiragana and katakana charts that I used to use as a cheat sheet for my self-teaching Japanese studies. As I’ve completely forgotten everything again (This is like the third time now) I decided to replace the charts with higher quality ones and put them up somewhere where I can see them. After spending a good ten to fifteen minutes searching around the web I came to the realization that no good charts exist for printing purposes that don’t require a credit card to access. So I ended up making my own.

Some open source PDF readers do not display the katakana for “ko”, if this happens to you just open the file in a different application.

Thanks! By far the prettiest charts out there. With GeekTool I put them on the desktop and it’s all really cool and helpful.

I’m currently in my 1.5st Japanese studying frenzy myself, going to Japan in 4 days! Discovered lots of wonderful stuff, have you heard, for instance, of Kanji-lish and Rikaichan?
