Learning to write Japanese is one of the hardest aspects of the language, with Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji making up their writing system, all with more characters that the Roman alphabet, it is a very daunting task!

Once you have got the basics down of all three (or just Hiragana) you can start practising writing properly. Lang-8 is fantastic for this, basically you write journal entries in the language you are learning and then natives (or people fluent in the language) correct what you have done wrong! It's a fantastic tool and you should definitely use it! You can also correct other peoples journal entries that are in a language you know, to help them out and be a good person and all.
