#JAPANESE FOR BEGINNERS LESSON 1 HOW TO#

I will teach you how to use possessive particles. Okay, letвЂ™s start with your first grammar lesson.

One of my favorites is the вЂњMaking Out in JapaneseвЂќ series because itвЂ™s silly and contains actually useful phrases to use in everyday life like ordering at a restaurant. There are also several other books I recommend for learning Japanese. I devised a unique method for learning languages, and IвЂ™m hoping it makes learning very hayai and kantan for you. I wrote a hon (book) about my travels in Japan, and it also teaches some Japanese language as youвЂ™re reading. A better translation for what they intended to say is not вЂњgreatвЂќ but вЂњThatвЂ™s awesome!вЂќ or вЂњSweet car!вЂќ Subjects are often implied and not outrightly expressed in Nihongo. Take a person saying вЂњSugoi!вЂќ, which literally means вЂњGreat!вЂќ In context, picture a character in a TV show seeing an impressive sports car and saying sugoi. Japanese grammar is often wildly different than English, so translation often includes subtle word additions and changes meant to reflect what the speaker or writer intended to say, rather than simply what she literally wrote. The above example brings me to this important point. Can you translate Japanese word for word? вЂњ2 orangesвЂќ in English becomes вЂњ2-round object- orangeвЂќ in a literal Japanese translation. ThatвЂ™s not always exactly correct, because Japanese does have something not found in English вЂ“ counter words. To illustrate multiples, you would just put a number before the word. Both вЂњwordвЂќ and вЂњwordsвЂќ are going to use the word вЂњkotobaвЂќ. It requires dedication, but not the boring, slow-progressing way taught by normal sensei (teachers).ДЄ first thing to note is there are no plural kotoba in Japanese. I try to make learning Japanese as kantan as possible.

You can easily learn Japanese from nothing.
