.Vocabulary - 単語

Now that you a least started learning the japanese alphabets, let's learn some basic vocabulary words and straightforward Japanese phrases. i will be able to list the Kanji, Hiragana, Romaji (the word measured out exploitation English letters), and therefore the English that means for every Japanese word or phrase. Most Japanese words have Kanji for them however i will be able to solely embody the Kanji if that word is usually written that method. 

Keep in mind that the japanese language has totally different levels of politeness  i will be able to visit these as "ultra-formal", "formal" (or "polite form"), "normal" (or "plain form"), "informal", and "rude" ( I will not be covering an excessive amount of of the rude type, however)

Basic Japanese synchronic linguistics - 文法

Japanese synchronic linguistics {is kind of} straightforward and simple however  totally different from English synchronic linguistics so most English speakers notice it rather confusing. as an example, in Japanese the verb forever comes at the top. the most effective factor you\'ll do once learning Japanese is to find out and not compare it to English synchronic linguistics. 

The Japanese language is beautiful i love the way it just flows its hard at first but 

you will get the hang of it ..

Miss Squeak80 Thoughts on Japanese !

                           Miss Squeak80 Thoughts on Japanese 

               When I was a little girl I always wanted to be Japanese 

My name Helene can be written in kanji like this: 平怜

My name  Helene looks like in katakana: ヘレン

My name Helene looks like in hiragana: へれん

This is how my name Helene would be pronounced in Japanese: he-re-n.

Funny huh! I love this language and find the people and couture 

Fantastic I would love to one day go to Japan and do the 

Cherry blossom tour,it a ould just be mind blowing and beautiful. 

I have a two Japanese tattoos one one my back that's says

Self control because at the time I really needed to center myself 

And had to learn a few my life lessons I will put a picture up of it.

The other Japanese tattoo I have is behind my left ear and it says 

Live Laugh Love and it's my new motto for my life ! 

I will do a blog on my tattoos another time .. 

Now back to the language I started to lean this in high school 

and was very fast a picking it up and at one stage was speaking this 

Very well I continued to lean and pick up new stuff daily I loved it .

I had fun when my son Zachary started to lean Japanese too 

Some days we would only talk to each other in Japanese it was 

Just funny and silly . Now I don't talk it much unless on holidays 

When I run in to new people whome speak this as their first language .

So here are some things I can pass on if your looking to 

Learn this amazing language I found this very helpful while learning

Myself so I am going to give you a few pointers to get you on your way 

Let's start with Hiragana The  first step to learning the Japanese language is 

to learn the alphabet. Or, at least, to learn the sounds that exist in the language. 

There are absolutely no "tones" in Japanese like in many other asian languages 

and there are only two exceptions within the alphabet which I will go in to later

The Japanese alphabet does not contain letters but, instead, contains characters 

and, technically, they are not alphabets but character sets. The characters in the 

chart below are called Hiragana. Hiragana is the main alphabet or character set 

for Japanese. Japanese also consists of two other character sets - 

Kanji (Chinese characters), which we will get into later, and another 

alphabet/character set, Katakana, which is mainly used for foreign words.

 

 

       My tattoos I love them and want this one below as well !
