    Good thing about Japanese: Hiragana and Katakana are fairly easy
    Bad thing: Kanji

      Kanji is not that hard actually if you can understand Chinese

      Kanji is super easy, maybe just for me because I’m chinese, but it just seems like the kanji looks like the object it’s related to

      I'm in college using this too XD We have only been learning japanese a week(I'm in 101 supposed to be a beginners class. Luckily I've taught myself some things via the internet!) and we already have test over the whole alphabet, and probably 150 words.

      @Haleyangelo 8 лет назад +7

      Holly Evans Oh wow!! That's a lot!! :O We haven't started Hiragana but I think that's next. This totally doesn't seem like a beginner class! I'm glad I have at least a tiny bit of knowledge before hand of Japanese or I'd be totally lost! How do you feel about learning so much?

    • @thathollyplant
      @thathollyplant 8 лет назад +9

      Well hiragana are the symbols that make up kanji in a way so learning hiragana first makes it a bit eaiser later. If you do just the old fashioned writing on a white board over and over you get it. I know the A, Ka, Sa, Ta, Na, Ma, and Ha line. But you also have ten ten where you add 2 dashes and you get something like... like the Ka line becomes the Ga line. I also know greetings and how to say I like and dislike something.

  • @chu1743

    if this makes anyone feel a little bit better about studying the two Japanese alphabets, you basically had to learn two alphabets (lowercase letters and capital letters) if you know English

      @jenna4205 6 лет назад +5

      Yeah that’s actually true, but as the other comment said we learned that as toddlers when that was all that we studied. Also, because we learned another language we’re used to that and learning another one with different sentence structures, pronunciation, grammatical rules, etc is difficult to adjust to. So we’re basically learning a third and fourth alphabet. (Also not to mention how similar most uppercase alphabets and lowercase alphabets are, in hiragana/katakana only so many look a little similar.) Also a lot of people are actually bilingual so we’re learning a BUnCh of alphabets haha :)

    A couple of years ago, ppl were making fun of me 'cuz everytime they say something(Except 'what's your name'), I would reply with "No English" and point to myself because I didn't know any english. I thought it would be the most amazing thing in the entire world to speak english. I even day dreamed of myself coming to school and just spitting random words and saying stuff in english while everybody was looking at me in amazement and be like":O:" Now I'm like "Ok, there. I learned it . . . now what? ;-;"
    Idk I think it might be the same for Japanese but probably not. (If I acually even learn it)

      Not if you have well plan on how to tackle it. I learned hiragana almost 3 months compared to everyone who is fast but guess what? I can tell immediately which character at a glance because I mastered it every single character and I practice 20 minutes almost everyday while I'm having fun. Sure it took me long time but I only put little effort (more efficient, effortless) unlike someone who study them for hours and hours then get burnout after couple of days (playing only short term). My method is more long term and I can take it easy while learning hirgana, then I can focus its vowels and its exception rule when pronouncing certain combination (step by step) before I moved to katakana.
      When learning Japanese, don't learn it all at once or you will get overwhelmed. It's better if you break it down step by step and practice what you need (talented or not when learing foreign languages).

      I've never watch Naruto so I can't comment on that or even understand the reference. Although I do watch Anime, it isn't for Weeaboos as such, it's for people who want to learn Japanese and divulge into their culture. A weeabo is someone who automatically thinks Japan is an amazing place and nowhere else is better, they think they know everything all due to Anime and Media. They're wrong.

This book has many useful methods for learning a foreign language, how to develop your memory, how to memorize words, learn grammar, quickly learn to speak, read and write. All recommend this excellent book! Good luck to everyone in learning a foreign language!

    Well the 'ga' is a ka with chon chon which are two little lines that change the sound of a character eg. ha becomes ba with chon chon, te becomes de with chon chon etc but this only works with some characters. Kanji is a more difficult script so you should look it up on wikipedia. Katakana is also for names. :) It becomes a lot easier to understand once you get the hang of it. I suggest doing some research on the things you don't understand about it. :)

  • @alcibiades79
    @alcibiades79 10 лет назад +11

    i am totally lost.... japanese essentially has something like 4 alphabets? Including Kanji, we got also Hiragana, Katakana and Romaji? Is that a little nutty or am I wrong?

    • @tammy3297
      @tammy3297 10 лет назад +6

      Lol I'm trying to learn and I felt the same way...completely lost. But I'm getting better. There is the alphabet which is the kana: hiragana, used to write traditional japanese then there is katakana which also has 46 characters like the hiragana and is used more for foreign words and names. Then we have the big one: kanji which has many more characters than katakana and hiragana combined. The Romaji is the phonetic sound, kind of like how we pronounce "A", "ka" would be a phonetic sound for its corresponding character. I guess the alphabet is easy for us because it sounds just what it looks like lol. I have only just started learning this and I've just decided to take it slow: numbers first, then the hiragana, then katakana and romaji alphabet. It's a lot, but don't push yourself or else you'll get even more frustrated. I heard that English is extremely hard for Japanese people to learn just as we think their language is hard lol. Anyway, if anyone can correct what I've said, go right ahead, I'm just a beginner so I'm basically speaking from what I've read lol

      Tammy thanks for the emotional support! I really like Japan and Japanese culture from many viewpoints and thought of trying to learn the language but when I begun to study Kanji and trying to translate Japanese websites where all three alphabets are all together often in the same phrase I got confused! I think I will leave Kanji out the picture for the time-being and concetrate on the kana. Thanks Tammy!

    • @brittneymarceleno2154
      @brittneymarceleno2154 10 лет назад +7

      Tammy I recommend not learning Romaji, since you basically already know it, if you're an English speaker (Karate, Sushi, etc.) and it would be pretty useless to know anyway in Japan, since Romaji isn't used on signs and whatnot (from my knowledge, I could be wrong). I feel like it's mostly meant for pronunciation. But I'm trying to learn Japanese too, so I support you. c: What I'm doing is learning Hiragana and numbers first, then Katakana and then basic Kanji and then grammar and all that. C:

      kpop lover Katakana is English words translated into Japanese words (Ex. Cake is Keki, or America is Amerika, or you can translate your name into Japanese), Hiragana is words that normal Japanese people use (I would recommend starting with this one), Kanji is a system of Japanese writing using Chinese characters, Romaji is base off of Roman alphabet so foreigner can understand (Ex. 日本人 is Japanese, but in Romaji is 'Nihonji'. It's kinda like a how-you-say-it thing). The main ones that you should concentrate on is Katakana and Hiragana.
