Lesson 1: hiragana
 Lesson 2: katakana
Lesson 3: more kana
Lesson 4: grammar intro
Lesson 5: kanji
Lesson 5½: more kanji
Lesson 6: kanji/vocab


This comes completely out of order from the way you're supposed to learn it, but here we go anyway. Today you get to learn about introductions.

Meeting people for the first time is a pretty standard affair, especially for non-natives like us. It helps break the ice when meeting...

Let me first reacquaint you with some friends from previous posts. This time I'm also including some vocab that...

Lesson 4: grammar intro
Lesson 5: kanji


If you saw my last blog lesson you'd have seen a whole bunch of kanji on it, most of which I didn't bother to identify. I'm doing that now. I've got all 79 of them here with pronunciation guides in both kana and romaji, and basic glosses.

一二三四五六七八九十
千人口山上下小大日月
火水木金土入力子女川
手王犬中天文出左右玉
田石正生白本目立耳字
休年竹先早百名車花貝
見町男赤足村雨空青林
森音草校円学気糸虫

Intimidating, yes, but we'll start...

Changing directions a bit. This lesson will deal with grammar and introduce the easiest sentence structure you'll see in Japanese. And here it is:

X は Y です。
