Description Writing 日本語 in Japanese: Lesson 1

I prefer this layout much better, don't you?
Well anyway, this is the followup to my previous lesson on how to read romaji

Again, this is just my test to see how it will look. I still think it will be a while before I put these tutorials up regularly. I also wanted to see every-one's opinion on it.

Any suggestions would be great
In the future I plan to include practice worksheets that you can download as PDFs. Flashcards too!
But it's hard to have that sort of thing when the students only know 5 of the hiragana so this lessons has just the explanations. As the lessons go on the methods of practice will become more elaborate. I'll include things like practice words/sentences that you have to translate back and forth between Hiragana and Romaji.
Like I said, any suggestions on what I can do to help improve your studies will be greatly appreciated.

Good luck!
がんばります!

Fixed some spelling errors

I really like this. It's super helpful, well laid out and cute to look at but there are a lot of english grammatical errors. Maybe have someone proofread it for you?

Grammar errors?
I thought I caught all of them! Oh dang it.
I'm so bad at catching my own mistakes *sigh*
I suppose I should start looking for people to proofread.

I think most of them were spelling actually. If I offended you I'm sorry, but I'd be happy to proofread for you

"E is pronounced like the 'e' in *hed*" -> 'head'

"Like I mentioned before the *stoke* order..." -> 'stroke'

'The stroke orders might seem a little *aquward)*...." -> 'awkward'

btw, I love this. If you need a proofreader, just note me.

emm2341 In reply to kaze32 [2009-01-08 05:10:40 +0000 UTC]

I always spell "awkward" wrong hehehe

In any case, I would be forever in your debt if you helped proofread!
Anytime you see an error please feel free to note me.
Maybe we could work out some sort of system so you can read them before they actually get published (to save me from embarrassment lol)

Hehe Japanese is a lot easier to learn if you know Chinese... at least at writing most kanji. c:

I know what you mean. I always feel somewhat inferior when I sit next to my Chinese friends in class. lol
The only thing they have to remember is the ponounciation.

Thanks for crushing my dreams... I WILL SOO SUCK AT THIS! Really I don't even get stroke orders right in a roman skript! "runs away crying" Although I have to admit. It looks usefull. It would look really fancy if someone can write any asian script.

emm2341 In reply to Temarinde [2009-01-07 23:31:12 +0000 UTC]

Something that my teacher always does is she counts all the strokes aloud while she's writing them. Maybe that would help ^.^
