So this concludes the two alphabets of Japanese. Now we know what it means when I would say アメリカ (amerika or America). By now I have already memorized the two alphabets and I'm doing this to practice so as to not loose touch of any of the characters.
So for today, I'm including some vocab words that some would want to know:
I (for your self) - わたし
U.S.A. - アエリカ
France- フランス
Japan- にほん (hint: It doesn't actually say Japan, it is said as nihon or nipon)
college- だいがく
language (like English language) - ~ご (ex. にほんご or えいご - English Language)
So I know that this post doesn't have much to talk about as it is just the table of the two alphabets and very few vocab words; however, I need to rest and I will try to post every day something new and exciting (maybe if you like anime tv/manga) and hopefully this will continue as a great blog!
As with yesterday: おやすみなさい。(Good night.)
