I have a question:

does Maru is not applied to KA, SA and TA? because you only used it on HA.

Good luck with the next lessons!
I'm quite curious how you're going to explain tenten and combined syllables (sha, nyu...). It's tricky in such a limited space, when you don't see the audience's reaction... But you did well with small "tsu", so I have faith in you!

Just curious: How long do you learn Japanese? You not only seem to be dealing with kanji for some time now, but more or less getting the grasp of them, for which I can only salute you and stare in amazement (at you) and dread (at the kanji)

To tell you the truth I don't know a whole lot of Kanji. I've only memorized how to write about 70 and I could probably read about 20 more. although that might seem like a lot, I should know over 150 by now (According to my sensei lol).

I've been taking Japanese in High school for three years now.
It helps a lot when you get provided worksheets and have deadlines/tests. Makes it harder to be lazy. I would never be able to make myself learn Kanji on my own. ^.^

Whaat?? You can choose Japanese in Highschool? o___O That's so unfair, I wish that was possible where I live. Then I would have had a far better basis - when I started Japanese at uni, I knew next to nothing about the language and in the 1st week felt so hopeless xD.

Can you converse well in Japanese now? ^^ I always wonder how long it takes people until they think they can properly express themselves in Japanese.

I can't converse really but I know enough to make for some funny conversations.

I'm at the level where I know how to get my point across but still get lost very fast. lol

Hehe I am the same . I can talk back a little, but not much and I'm sure it sounds not very good xD. But I've only been studying it for about 5 months, so I guess that's normal.

Last time exchange students came over I had a problem where I would pick up all their habits like saying "nani" and "un" (Instead of "uh huh") and once they left I had to reprogram my mind back to English.
Even a short week of Japanese exposure can do a lot to your brain! lol

Yeah I know what you mean, haha! But it's nice to notice that you learn new things quickly once you're around Japanese speking people ^^.

Lawenta In reply to emm2341 [2009-01-08 23:30:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it sounds like a lot I can barely write from one to ten

It's definitely easier to learn when you're forced to on week-to-week basis AND have someone reliable to teach you. We had a native speaker, a great person, and it was such a relief to know that he won't teach us any bullshit

Damn xd i think that's propably the most weird language lessons which i've ever seen but, don't take my words bad x) I think Japanese is very interesting but, when I'm looking at all of that stuff i'm so confused ^^ Those Words and characters, damn! How could you type all that complicated senteces, long or evern short, even words! Wow ^^ Respect for you man You are doing very good and hard work as I think, I admire! Ciau!

Oh boy! I'm just thinking how I'm going to get through Katakana!

But I suppose if a lot of people decide they want Kanji I might be able to convince myself to do it lol

MoonLightSpectre In reply to emm2341 [2009-01-07 23:18:22 +0000 UTC]

Well people don't need as much guidance for hiragana and katakana, they aren't that complicated and they're phonetic, which is rather comprehensive for our european minds. While a whole lot of people might have troubles with kanji because they're such a mess that you won't even know where to start XD
Good luck with it all!

Your right, lessons 6 seems to be missing. Did I forget to do it?
Oh dear I guess I better fix that.

I'm sorry I've been so lazy with the lessons lately. I'll try to get lesson 6 fixed today and then I'll promise to get 8 up after the Christmas holiday is over.

emm2341 In reply to kouteri [2008-11-28 05:10:17 +0000 UTC]

Exactly what do you mean by "help recognize"?

These lessons are only for introducing all the characters. Afterward I'm going to included a more in depth couple of lessons that include practice and maybe a little grammar to start ya off. It'll be fun ^.^

Like in Lesson 2, where you had a reading section and readers would give the romanization.

Ah I see! Yea I kinda stopped doing that didn't I

I'm sorry my lessons are being so inconsistent.
That's because my ideas started kinda changing right about there.

Right now I'm making a workbook that will have practice problems assigned to specific lessons. I
At the moment I'm just trying to get the lessons out. When I'm done I'll go back and change things so that there's practice problems are included in the lessons too.
