Learning Basic Japanese

Description

 

 

Konbanwa (こんばんは)~

 

I've noticed a lot of love and attention for learning Korean, but for all those interested in learning Japanese, then i thought i'd teach the basics.


(I know i know, but try to contain yourselves ^_^;)

 

First though, a little about me.

  • Studied Japanese at University for one and a half years (so far...)
  • Learned the basics independently for an additional Year. (that's around two and a half years i've been learning!)
  • Working towards a degree in International Business Management + Japanese & Chinese Language.
  • Became interested in the Asian culture through Media. (DBZ OKAY??)
  • Grew tired of having to wait for 'Subbed' programmes or 'Translated' comics, so... Decided to study!
  • I am NOT 100% fluent.... 


(Don't judge me!)

  

So, just to clarify, i am not Japanese (or even Chinese). I am actually English, but i am studying Japanese at school. But i am NOT fully fluent. The language isn't an easy one to learn (especially for somebody like me, who does not pick up languages all that easily), so i am NOT an expert. The things i will teach you are the things i was taught in school. 

But, sharing is caring, so why not provide my £3000 a year education with you guys, for free (haha...)

 

So, here's a rundown of the lesson plans that we will learn. 

  1. Basic Pronunciation & Grammar.
  2. Japanese Hirigana & Alphabet
  3. Numbers & Months. 
  4. Greeting / Farewells & Basic conversations.
  5. Time & talking In a café 
  6. Going Shopping & Colours
  7. At a Restaurant
  8. Travelling & At the airport

 

Sound good?


(I'll just take that as a yes... O_O )

 

In-between these lessons i will introduce new words, verbs and grammar rules, as well as how words are written (in hiragana only, as i have not really learned much katakana).

Again, just to point out, i am NOT an expert, mistakes will probably may be made, but i am only trying to help with the basics of learning, as taught to me. 

If your interested, check out my first blog post, where i have started with the first lesson. ENJOY.

Chapter 1: For the confident people, i'm looking for any members who would be confident in sending in their progress in these lessons VIA a youtube video (showing off the words they have learned etc).

As for Wordpress Skinners, i'm looking for anyone who can create custom wordpress themes.

@melody92397 -- I can start Chinese lessons if you like. I'll begin to map out lesson plans later today.
