Happy happy fun fun japanese grade school thread
 

The reason for me making this thread is because i noticed that there wasn't any threads for umm...lets say...beginners yeah thats the word. This is made for all you people that need help from the beginning, so everyone that knows basic stuff ...post it here, like colors, some hiragana, maby some basic kanji? or maby the seasons? or just simple words. If you are going to post please post in romanji and in hiragana its easier to learn that way, Hey kanji would even help.


ゆき
Yuki＝snowy
いつ
itsu=When?
いす
isu=Chair

Aren't beginners more in need of structured lessons?

I think random lists of words are a bit impractical (due to lack of context, and difficulty of memorizing word lists), but for the sake of not being completely contrary, I will post a list of words that may be useful. After all, you are right about there being a slight lack of real beginners stuff here.

They are all important question words that are worth memorizing if you don't know them.

いつ -Itsu- When　(For the sake of completeness [I'm A+ LOL])
なに -Nani-　What?
どこ -Doko-　Where?
どう -Dou-　How?
どうして -Doushite- or　なんで -Nande-　Why?
どちら -Dochira-　Which way (As in "which way to the station?")
いくら -Ikura-　How much (As in "How much does this cost?")
どんな　-Donna-　What kind of?
どれ -Dore-　Which (As in "Which dress is cheaper?", mainly used when picking from 3 or more things)

PS. feel free to correct me, I'm fallible sometimes... But I'd rather you dropped me a PM so I can write the correction to avoid bloating the thread.

i originally thought the title of the thread was "...grad school".
bit bummed out.

たくさん-takusan (na-adj, n, adv) many, a lot, much
(this was my very first overused adverb)
