Learning about Japan for English Speakers

Japanese Alphabet

Lesson 1

I am so sorry for being late :P 

First of all, what you are going to need is Japanese Alphabets.

It is not that difficult so just let's do it :)

but it is required knowledge for typing and writing

 

See the picture below:

you may save this if you want to...

 

so these are basic Japanese letters called "Hiragana" (like  ひらがな)

and we type these letters with the way of "Roma-ji"

"Roma-ji" way is shown in the picture, next to each "Hiragana"

 

Lets practise typing then,

windows-vista

windows7

windows8

mac

 

when you are ready...

 

lets type "ko nn ni ti ha"

if you could do the settings alright, it would show

こんにちは

which means "hello".

 

OK, today's summary

we learnt how to typewrite.

these basic letters are called "Hiragana"

 

We are going to look at extra bit of hiragana next time.

Thank you for reading
