3, Next is how to write letters.

How should I write the letters?

Hiragana, katakana, and kanji are basically written from left to top right to bottom.

Write “い” in hiragana

Write “と” in katakana

It is the kanji “田”.

So how do we write a sentence?

We write Japanese sentences both vertically and horizontally.

It used to be vertical writing.

There are many horizontal writings now.

We write newspapers, magazines, manga, etc. vertically.
