Notebook Entry #1

オースティインにすんでいます。

Good job! In my opinion, writing your name first is better. (Vanessa = ヴァネッサ)

*ヴぁねっさ is mixed up hiragana and katakana and it doesn't look good in Japanese. 

I hope this was helpful.  

Notebook Entry #1

オースティンにすんでいます。 

A word isn't mixed hiragana and katakana in Japanese.

Typically Katakana is used to be when write foreigner's name,the noun came from other countries,and 

express other languages.

Ex: Orange（オレンジ）, cake(ケーキ), Taylor Swift（テイラー  スウィフト）, Hand （ハンド）but Japanese say "手 て". ("手" is Kanji.) etc.

Gooooood job٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
