  • Read Katakana while you eat, talk and sleep. Repeat, Repeat and Repeat. And by the time you realize, you would have memorized all of the katakana.
  • Once you have enough confidence or know some katakana then you should start reading words and sentences which are purely written in Katakana.
  • The more you repeat, The more you remember.
