why are japanese characters written in 2 different ways?
well actually why are japanese characters written in 3 different ways (katakana seems to be just hiragana sounds)?

ur just a n00b now, after getting used to it they are very obviously different
it's only an issue if you can't tell 馬 and 鹿 apart

No.111696
>>111695
i guess so, there are obviously differences but the general shape is so close to the hiragana character that if i was a dummy id think it was intentionally made to confuse people
i also found at least 6 other characters that look like the "wrong" hiragana counterpart （ ´,_ゝ`）

some of these differences are barely visible, do japanese people set their fonts to something ridiculously big or something?
also can someone tell me how to change my keyboard layout to japanese on linux? i installed the necessary packages and changed the layout but im still on english layout

Context is surely enough to tell them apart in >99% of sentences, even if they were completely identical. Remember that in spoken japanese there is no kanji, everything is just mouth noises.

Just remember that they both look like the tip of a PENIS. so + n = son, a son's PENIS. so is a dick hole pointing up to spray semen on SOmeone or SOmething, n is a dick hole pointing dowN for malNourished NewborN Niggers to Nibble oN for susteNaNce.

n is drawn to be more horizontal, while so is more vertical

so: ソ　both strokes are drawn more top to bottom (the second stroke is somewhat right to left).
n: ン　both strokes are drawn more left to right (the second stroke is practically bottom to top, too).

draw them a few times on paper with the right stroke order and you'll get it ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

If you really wanna feel like you're making progress try with easier anime like the ones rated 1 or 2/10 on jpdb. If you know 14 of the most common words like watashi, nani, and some honorifics that already covers 14% of the dialogue in Wataten apparently.

i'm writing what i think i hear they say in wataten in both hiragana and katakana, i seem to forget some easy characters at times though cry

i believe i have learned that "okita" means "wake up" but i'm unsure if it's one whole word, also i think i heard the mom say something like "izumateruno" but i'm almost sure i misheard it
