Japanese Lesson 1 [Raivu]
This is Lesson 1 of my Japanese class (I decided to do one out of boredom, and I think it'll be easier for me to learn as well if I re-teach)
Ok. First off, to get by, you will need to learn Hiragana and Katana.
What are the differences?
Hiragana - Main Japanese stream of language
Katana - English translations, usually found outside.
example:
English - Milk
Katakana - Miruku ミルク
NUMBERS 1-10
You will need to know your numbers. Its' easy to pick up from there
1 - Ichi 一
2 - Ni ニ
3 - San 三
4 - Yo 四
5 - Go 五
6 - Roku 六
7 - Shichi 七
8 - Hachi 八
9 - Kuu 九
10 - Juu 十
Ａｎｄ ｎｏｗ ａｆｔｅｒ ｔｈａｔ， ｆｏｒ １１ ｅｖｅｒｙｔｈｉｎｇ ｉｓ １0＋1．Ｓｏ ｉｔ ｗｏｕｌｄ ｂｅ ”ＪｕｕＩｃｈｉ”。Ｊｕｕ ＝ １０

SENTENCE STUCTURE
1. Subject at the beginning of the sentence. (Raivu, my name is)
2. GREETINGS: Most commonly used is "Watashi wa" then "Raivu desu"
**BE CAREFUL WHEN WRITING JAPANESE Because they don't use Spaces.
so it would be "watashiwaRaivudesu"
わたしわＲａｉｖｕです
*Also Remember to use "Yoroshiku" as a polite way to greet anybody of higher authority
*Finally, to conclude this lesson, never use "Oro" when introducing yourself. It's a very rude term and it'll most likely end you on your ass. it's like saying "Hey. My name is Joe. Want to do something about it, bitch?"
:p but not quite like that.
Just take my word for it, don't use it. ^_^

Well that concludes this first lesson of Japanese. :p Take notes and start practicing.

rry about getting karatesized when talkin to a Kung Fu instructor xD
I'll change that. But it would honestly be either "juushi" or "Juuyon" but "Juuyon" is actually the more common way to do it. Nobody really uses "juushi" so not a lot of people would quite understand what you're talking about.
