Hey everyone, since I'm in the middle of doing something productive - my master's thesis - let me do something completely unproductive like teach you Japanese!!!
Here are the first five syllables of Japanese (and you need to learn their sounds as they are the root vowels used in EVERY JAPANESE syllable following):
ALL LINES ARE WRITTEN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OR FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
あ (ah) - draw the horizontal line, the vertical, then the curly one
い (ee) - draw the left line, then the right
う (oo) - draw the top line, then the backward "c"
え (eh) - same as う
お (oh) - draw horizontal line, then vertical into curly one, then little mark.
Say these words
いえ - ee-eh - House
あい - ah-ee - Love
あう - ah-oo - to meet
あおい - ah/oh/ee - (say each sound separate but fast) Blue
いう - ee/oo - to say
いい - eee - good
おい - oi! - Hey!
Practice speaking and writing these on your own time!!
