Well~ I'm bored and have a tiny bit of knowledge so~ I'll do some weekly Japanese for those of you who wish to learn. To start off I'll post a hiragana chart. Hiragana is the most basic way of writing/spelling in the Japanese language. There is, however, a simpler form for English speakers called romaji (romanized text). I refuse to teach romaji, though. It is an evil, evil thing in my opinion. xD; So you will just have to quickly memorize the sounds. Now! If you have a smart phone (iPhone, android, blackberry, etc.) I recommend you download the free (or if you want more in depth lessons-$9.99) app., "Human Japanese". It has the romaji that I will not teach & the sounds which I am too lazy to share. Anyways! Here's your first lesson(image from wikipedia):

ReplyDelete...WHATTT?~
ReplyDeleteThey existed? o-o
Wow.
Lol yes, they are rarely used but do exist. It's mainly for archaic words and the like. If you look at documents from the Heian era they were used a lot. Even in the famous Genji Monogatari they were used quite a bit.
