The Basics


      Konbanwa, good evening!!


I'm positive I've got the basics in the bag but lets go over it!
so in the complete idiots guide to conversational Japanese it introduces you the language.It also gives  you a guide on how to use the book but ill break it down. The first chapter which is just to inspire you to have confidence in yourself and what your learning! in other words gambate ne! good luck! and have fun that the whole point is to learn something new and if you don't find  fun and interesting ways to do it you'll loose interest fast (believe me i know).
So i started learning Japanese using only romanji (the romanization of the language) in other words letters, the ones we use every day and not kana which consists of hiragana,katakana and kanji.
I personally think that, that was my mistake to start that way
because now i see to go further in my studies  i have to go back and start learning kana so take my word for it even if you only want to learn conversational Japanese it will come in handy and you will find yourself needing it.Next i learned the vowel sounds they are a[ah] e[bet]i[he] o[bore]and u like in[cool]. The Japanese only have 102 syllables possible so its easy to learn the pronunciation. Just remember that its a monotone language and that each syllable should have the same length when being said so practice reading aloud.
but heres a link to a very catchy way to learn some of the syllables :


    
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrMkJAzbWQc&feature=related
cant get the song out my head lol.
there are some tricky sounds like the r that sounds like l and d at the same time, something like the Spanish r put not the same.
also tsu, fu, ra, ri, ru, re, ro, wa, y and N. They can be quite tricky for a native English speaker but thank fully since i speak both English and Spanish i find a middle point were i can us them to help my pronunciation ^^.Even though some times i forget and i use a very Puertorrican accent in my Japanese which makes me sound like a gaijin/outsider. *very important depending on what you say the meaning can change example ki-te listen and kit-te stamp so speak passively and don't stress the syllables depending on context i'm sure you'll be understood. ^^

this link will take you to the about.com page
that has a very use full hirangana lesson:
http://japanese.about.com/library/blhira.htm
so thats it for now arigatou for reading
ja
 mata ne !

nijongo o benykyo suru

So today is the first day I've decide to start using this blog that till now had no real use 
to write about my Japanese language learning  progress. So basically
I have been studying on and off for some time now but i always get side tracked by some thing 
(lets just say i have a short attention span some times i blame it on facebook and other social networks
there so addictive) . I personally use the internet (Google) to find resources to teach myself Japanese since here there's no Japanese program in school in fact there's no school at all since we've been moved to another one  because of the construction work  starting on my old high school. Any ways that has nothing to do with the topic
i find my self pulling teeth basically when I'm looking for the right resources to study Japanese.
But finally i think I'm going to settle on these:http://www.textfugu.com/
textfugu with koichi
if i begin use of any other ill put a link on that post ^^
 plus any jisho/online dictionary
that i might use during my studies.
Books  I've been using so far are : 
the complete idiots guide to conversational Japanese
Japanese verbs & essentials of grammar 2cd edition
I haven't been able to buy and dictionaries but as soon ill inform you of witch 
so i guess this is all for now 
   ja 
mata ne ^_-
