Typing well reduces friction. Set up your IME once and keep muscle memory consistent across devices.
Setup checklist
- Install Japanese IME; enable romaji input.
- Map language switch to an easy shortcut.
- Show prediction candidates; learn quick selection keys.
Practice
- Daily 5‑minute typing drills with kana/kanji conversion.
- Learn common shortcuts (cycle candidates, confirm, convert to katakana).
Typing pairs well with reading aloud—type what you read; say it out loud to reinforce pronunciation.
