Japanese

Welcome!

It’d be hard today to find one thing in your household that wasn’t a Japanese innovation. We are living in a global economy, united by technology and conquest for perfect engineering. It is a time and age when learning a foreign language is of most importance in both business and life.

Learning Japanese...

Contrary to what some may believe, Japanese is a fairly simple language to learn. All the sounds you’ll hear in the Japanese language aren’t foreign to native English speakers; and so, there’s little struggle in pronunciation. However, the Japanese use a different sentence structure than English, placing verbs at the end of the sentence rather than after the subject (SOV vs SVO). This may be a difficult concept at first, but it really is a hurdle not worthy of any aggravation.

This site will eventually cover:
  • Learning the “alphabet”
    • Learning Hiragana
    • Learning Katakana
  • Basic sentence structure
    • Present tense
    • Negative present tense
    • Past tense
    • Negative past
  • Basic Japanese Introductions
  • Introduction to Japanese Kanji
  • Adjectives
    • i-adjectives
    • na-adjectives
  • Verbs
    • Positive/Negative Present
    • Positive/Negative Past

 

The Approach...

I will use the knowledge I have learned to effectively learn Japanese as an adult. This is no Rosetta Stone, treating you as if you were learning like a child. I will teach you how you can fit learning a foreign language into your busy schedule, and still achieve success. While I’m busy updating the site, please enjoy the above comedy bit about eating sushi in Japan!
