Assume that you have study the hiragana and katakana chart fully, you
might think that you are able to read it already. You are right to say that,
but how fast can you read hiragana and katakana words? You probably still have
to think a little before saying the word out. Being able to read a word quickly
helps you get used to speaking the word and to quickly sound fluent in the
language. So here are 2 methods that should help you to speak faster.
Method 1
I’m sure almost every Japanese learner has his or her favorite Japanese
artist. So what he or she can do is to go to a Japanese karaoke. On screen you
will see the Japanese subtitles for the song chosen. Then you just have to try
to read the hiragana and katakana while trying to sing. This will greatly
improve your ability to speak each character faster because of the speed of the
song that requires you to pace the song accordingly. Although you have no idea
what each word means for now, its alright. Once your Japanese vocabulary
improve, you get even better at sounding and reading the words while you sing.
If you are uncomfortable about singing. See method 2
Method 2
This method is much easier and slower pace than method 1 as it does not
requires you to sing to the pace of the words. Go to any Japanese supermarket
or any place selling Japanese products. On the products, there will be full of
Japanese hiragana and katakana and kanji. What you can do is try to read only
the hiragana and katakana, don’t bother about the kanji. Just skip them. The
more you try to read, the better your photographic memory becomes and you will
be able to say the hiragana or katakana words out quickly.
