1 - ichi
2 - (pronounced "ni" but not sure how it's spelt)
3 - san
4 - chi
5 - (pronounced "doe" but not sure how it's spelt)

300, 600 & 800 are slightly different

300 = Sambyaku
600 = Roppyaku
800 = Happyaku

400 = Yonhyaku (and not Shihyaku)
700 = Nanahyaku (and not Shichihyaku) [and same for 4000 & 7000]

3000 = Sanzen
8000 = Hassen

EikoGuy 06-09-2007 06:14 PM

now I need
days of the week
seasons
Greetings
Misc
Anything that will expand my limited vocabulary.

Seiryuu 06-09-2007 11:00 PM

Add (曜日;ようび) to the end of these for days of the week:

月;げつ - Monday
火;か - Tuesday
水;すい - Wednesday
木;もく - Thursday
金;きん - Friday
土;ど - Saturday
日;にち - Sunday

Seasons:

春;はる - spring
夏;なつ - summer
秋;あき - autumn
冬;ふゆ - winter

That's all I'll do for now.

EikoGuy 06-10-2007 07:03 PM

Ok I'm sorry I didn't specify. I wish to learn to speak japanese before learning to write it.

Hope this helps

EikoGuy 06-16-2007 09:09 PM

Is that how you pronounce it all. Do I sound out all the vowels?

Seiryuu 06-20-2007 02:39 AM

In japanese, there is only one way to pronounce the vowels.

As for sounding out, clarify please.

EikoGuy 06-22-2007 07:12 PM

Well in spanish you have to pronounce each vowel always. Do you hear each vowel in all these words or are some of them silent.

NOw I need the alphabet

seiki 06-22-2007 08:22 PM

can you put it in romaji

seiki 06-22-2007 08:57 PM

do people still commonly use honorifics?

EikoGuy 07-08-2007 08:12 PM

Okay guys. I have flashcarded everything here thanks for all you help. I will learn japanese like I learned spanish.
Next I need to learn sentence structure. Along with phrases such as
HOw are you.
I am [not]fine
And other commonly asked questions.

I think some of the above may be wrong(least according to a book I have)

corrections:

Ohayoo

to make it easier, anything with "ou" should be "oo, according to my book.

Konnichi wa

Konban wa

Moshi moshi

@Miyavifan

There are several systems of Japanese romanization. While the one from your book is not wrong, it's less common than the other two ways I see more often. Usually it stays 'ou', or else an accented ō is used.

I hate romaji :P

YouHadMeAtASL 07-09-2007 09:35 PM

Here's the Genki Japan song from YouTube.
