is writing sentences in full kana instead of having a kanji acceptable?


There are some sentences where there are so many kanji present and it is
difficult to read at all specially if you're just a beginner. So, is writing
sentences in full kana instead of having a kanji acceptable?

(The sample I'm about to give is just a simple phrase that I know has a kanji
in it)

For example:

：私はなつです

（watashi wa Natsu desu)

：わたしはなつです

（watashi wa Natsu desu)




Yes it is absolutely acceptable for beginner-level learners to use only kana
while they become familiar with the grammar and syntax of Japanese. In fact,
this is a very common approach so that people don't get overwhelmed in the
early stages. Most learning strategies delay the introduction of kanji until
after kana have been learned and then begin gradually integrating them into
the learning process. Since Japanese has kana and kanji, the meaning can be
understood whichever you use. Of course, standard written Japanese would use a
combination of both.

In general, I believe it is better to start using kanji early in the learning
process, i.e. as soon as you are comfortable with kana. It is an integral part
of Japanese proficiency and can help in other areas like vocabulary
acquisition. So although delaying it is normal, I wouldn't advise delaying it
too long.
