Ready to learn Japanese?

If so, let's start with Hiragana! If you don't exactly know what Hiragana is, read the following. Otherwise, just skip it, and move on to the part below it.



-There are 4 different MAIN types of Japanese. They are Katakana, Hiragana, Romanji, and Kanji. Hiragana is the type that people normally learn first. And if you know all of the Hiragana characters, you'll be able to read Japanese.-



Interested? If you are, then PM me. It's completely free and easy!
NOTE: If you force me to give the words to you earlier, I will ignore you. Unfortunately, there are some things that can't be done by force.
ANOTHER NOTE: Before I send you the words, I will teach you a few basic things about Hiragana. If you already know about it, you can tell me that it's not required, and we'll skip it.
ONE LAST THING: The pronunciation for each Hiragana character is included. If you want to learn a few Japanese words, I'll be more than glad to include them once in a while.

Should you explain the 4 japanese writing systems?
Hiragana, Katakana, Romanji and Kanji.
Most people just read Romanji anyways
And you should present what dialect you are willing to teach.
Just saying ^^

Romanji is...well, what we use to write.
Hiragana is used for japanese words.
Katakana is used for foreign words, like: kamera(camera), Patorishia(Patricia - it's my name, and there's a japanese song called that 3nodding ), suteeji(stage)...
Kanji: this one is composed by symbols. Each symbol means one(or more) words.

I think this is it. 3nodding

yeah. Just that Katakana is sharper then Hiragana though, my name in katakana would be Shinshia, but you read in Romanji right now.
Kanji is Japanese words using Chinese characters. 3nodding
