Next, why dont you check to make sure that you are writing hiragana characters in the correct stroke order?

If you are more advanced and can read and write simple sentences, you can try out Lang-8, a language exchange social network.

You can write journal entries in Japanese and a Japanese native will correct them for you using an interface that lets you see your mistakes.

In exchange, you can help someone out whos learning your native language by correcting their journal entries.
