I created a katakana chart to refresh my memory on the characters for the test. I would say that Katakana is easier then hiragana to me because they are less complex to write. It especially easier if you learn hiragana first because most of the rules are the same with the glottal stops, glides and ten ten marks. When actually reading katakana words its nice being able to pick up words from your native language without needing the help of a Japanese dictionary. Such as when playing video games if you have the game in Japanese much of the menu items are in katakana which come from English words. Some of the characters in katakana can be annoying because of the similarities between them. It can be hard reading different fonts because just a small angle difference can change the word and you might not read it right. Overall, katakana is not that difficult if you understand it fully.
That's mean just putting the cover up!!! We want to hear about Dia-san's Winter Holiday!!! There will be sulking and tears before bedtime! We expect a proper story time with thrills and spills (well, only if they go skiing and fall ;)).
