I have a question about kanji. Are they becoming less popular? Are more Japanese people opting for hiragana?

If anything Japan is moving towards using more Katakana. I really dislike this and I feel the Japanese media is to blame.
They are using more and more foreign words in everyday speech. It is horrible to hear if the word comes from your own language. I am sure the Japanese linguistic teachers are rocking back and forth in a dark corner when they return home from school.

Hiragana is a supplement to kanji. I don't feel it is replacing kanji at all. But the newer generations are more relaxed about learning kanji and few are being omitted.

I think they should stick to Hiragana. Its easy to remember and kanji is confussing

I thought so in the beginning but now I don't know how people read without Kanji just hiragana is so confusing. :

yup sparky.. we have lots of same words in Hiragana, and we can understand these different meaning by changing to Kanji.

i don't really feel that kanji is bad it is just so much to learn i have learned a lot from my Japaneses teacher she really doesn't do a lot of it like i wish we did but i can hope right? :fingers_crossed:
