"Shoko's Easy Japanese, your 'Hiragana Song 1 -AIUEO-' is an excellent way to introduce learners to the Japanese alphabet! 🇯🇵📚 The catchy tune and sing-along format make it a fun and effective tool for memorizing Hiragana characters from 'あ (a)' to 'ん (n)'. Your dedication to making Japanese learning accessible and enjoyable is truly appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for sharing this valuable resource! 🎶📖 #JapaneseAlphabet #LanguageLearning #SingAlong"
If you want to emphasize the difference between "お (o)" and "を(wo)," you might pronounce it as "wo," but it's actually more natural to pronounce it as "o."
Hi! I'm trying to learn Japanese- I am struggling with ra, ri, ru, re, ro pronunciation. Does the R come off as more of an english "L" or more of an "L+R" sound?
Hi! Thanks for your comment. I know many Japanese learners are struggling with らりるれろ(ra ri ru re ro). They are different from both of L and R. But in some cases, it sounds like “T” sound. For example, “water” “What a ~” (American accent) These “T” sounds are slightly different from the normal T pronunciation, aren’t they? I think らりるれろ have similar pronunciation. But you know they are not exactly the same though. Could this help you? If you have some more questions, please feel free to ask me:)
@ShokoEasyJapanese The Japanese word "ra ri ru re ro'' is a light tonguing sound. I think there are some minor differences, but I think it's okay to convert R to L.
I don't have an answer to that question, but it's about 100 characters for N5 level, and another 200 characters for N4 level. Approximately 2000 characters are used on Japanese television and newspapers.
AIUEO be like: A section (A-0) K section (K-2) S section (S-1) T section (T-6) N section (N-5) H section (H-10) M section (M-20) Y section (Y-10) R section (R-1) W section except “NN” (W-4)
Shoko, you are simply the best. I teach French, Persian, English and Swahili to kids and I think I shall try the same. Very sweet song. Arigato gozaimasu !!!
I love this. I am 38, and beginnner!!!!! But love jamming along to this kids song. I figure if catchy alphabet songs worked when I was 3, why wouldn’t the would now when I am 3 and 8. Haha, ありがとございます！
I am currently working to memorise the Hiragana, my old brain doesn’t remember quite so great. But, I am getting there. I figure once Hiragana and Katakana are memorised, the rest will just happen with time.
Thank you for leaving your comment. Coincidentally, I am also 38 years old!! And making these songs! Hahaha Our memory is not as good as it was when we were little, but we have life experience, so that is an advantage👍 Keep going🤗
There are two ways to read Japanese: vertically and horizontally like English. When reading vertically, we start reading from the top right as you noticed.
18 years old learning this like a toddler hell yeahhh (still strugglin) (Edit: I do have a question related to reading and writing actually! should I read/write top to bottom like a column or some other way? thanks!)
Thank you for leaving a comment! Sorry that I’m late to reply. We have 2 ways, from top to down, and from left to right just same as English when we write or read. Hiragana chart is read from top to bottom such as “aiueo”.
It depends on what you want to do with Japanese, but you can learn more deeply by studying the characters. The question is easier to understand if you think about whether you can learn English without studying the alphabet. Although it is possible to learn a language without being able to read, it can be inconvenient, and if you want to learn deeply, reading is essential. Kanji are particularly difficult, so I recommend studying hiragana and katakana first. You don't have to rush to learn kanji, so start learning anytime you have time.
@@thaw3converge5resoort Do you know Roma-ji? Roma-ji is like "aiueo". When we want to type "あ", we type "a". So, you don't need to have Japanese characters on your keyboard.
why its hiragana much better to remember and kana not? i still cant remember kana -.- hiragana not problem for 1-2 days and try learning kana last week and still nothing -.-
You meant kana must be Katakana, right? If you could master hiragana, I think it will be easier to master katakana! Have you learned Hiragana "がぎぐげごgagigugego" or "きゃきゅきょkyakyukyo" yet? They are also in katakana, so you can learn them easily.
@@ShokoEasyJapanese yes all complete ONLY Katakana simbols Can't remember i dont know why Katakana looks harder for me xd i need buy book if exist manga or someting where Is only hiragana And Kana (no kanji) becouse i dont know how kanji simbols reading (私わ=わたしわ=watashiwa)
My birthday (March 26) is about to turn 14. I know hiragana and katakana perfectly. I know 100 Kanji. In the meantime, what do I do in my free time : A i u e o..... Haahaha

@ShokoEasyJapanese
The Japanese word "ra ri ru re ro'' is a light tonguing sound.
I think there are some minor differences, but I think it's okay to convert R to L.
How many kanji do i need to learn ??
I don't have an answer to that question, but it's about 100 characters for N5 level, and another 200 characters for N4 level. Approximately 2000 characters are used on Japanese television and newspapers.
How many levels are
AIUEO be like:
A section (A-0)
K section (K-2)
S section (S-1)
T section (T-6)
N section (N-5)
H section (H-10)
M section (M-20)
Y section (Y-10)
R section (R-1)
W section except “NN” (W-4)
this actually works

How can you write Japanese characters(kana and 漢字) on the English keyboard?
First, please set up your keyboard for Japanese input. Then you can use Roma-ji to input Kana and Kanji.
@@ShokoEasyJapanese I use Laptop to watch youtube, thus, The keyboard is all in english.
@@thaw3converge5resoort Do you know Roma-ji? Roma-ji is like "aiueo". When we want to type "あ", we type "a". So, you don't need to have Japanese characters on your keyboard.
