Learn Japanese – the easy way.

[AbraKadabra]

Learning a foreign language is not just a hobby anymore.
Needless to say, It’s got more benefits than ever.

Here's bringing you a simple way of learning Basics of Japanese.

Japanese syllables are divided into 3 categories:

HIRAGANA, KATAKANA and ROMAJI

Hiragana - is the basic collection of japanese vowels and consonants.
Katakana - is the script used to write or read the English words.
Romaji - is the English interpretation of Hiragana and Katakana.

Hiragana consists of five vowels just like English, but pronounced differently.

They are a, i, u, e, o.

Pronounced :

a as "aa"
i as "ee"
u as "oo"
e as "ae"
o as "O"

Written as

あ - a い - i う - u え- e お- o


A personal note for all the CEans who would really like to learn Japanese:

Make an entry of each of these posts in a small notebook.
That would be really helpful to understand and recall things later.

And let me know if you find my first attempt to japanese tutorial helpful.

Its really a nice initiative and helpful. World is too small to roam; so its always great to learn atleast something about all the language; If not all, then better atleast a few.

Good job Ankita.. keep doing good work.
