Using Different Japanese Forms

Postby alichak000_504040 » January 26th, 2015 12:32 am

If I use all Hiragana or all Katagana, would it be fairly easy to maintain a conversation? I can read Kanji, fairly okay, since I speak and use Chinese, but not sure about using it.

I don't quite understand what you mean. Conversations normally aren't written. If you mean using a chat programm or write mails i doubt that you will have much fun writing everything in Hiragana. Longer sentences will be very hard to read at least in my opinion.

alichak000 san and adelholtz san,
konnichiwa.
I agree with adelholtz san.
As you know kanji is ideogram so I think it’s easy to get meanings even when you use chat programs.
