Abstract
One of the methods used to introduce hiragana and katakana is the association method based on learners' native languages, and materials have been created based on English, Thai, Spanish, and Chinese. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no detailed descriptions of the selection of words and procedures for creating hiragana materials. Also, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no study of how to create hiragana teaching materials using the Hindi associative method. In this paper, we present a procedure for preparing a questionnaire for selecting words for creating Hiragana teaching materials using the associative method for class 6 students of secondary schools in the suburbs of Delhi and Delhi.
