Room 2 — Begin seeing Japanese
Enjoy the music. Look a little closer at Japanese you already know.
Look
はい
A word you already say. い you know. Notice は.
はい
hai
yes
は い
ha i
です
The small close of so many sentences. Notice す.
です
desu
ですか
desu ka
Turns a sentence into a question. Notice か.
たのしい
You already know this word. た, の, し, and い are all on your map.
たのしい
tanoshii
fun / enjoyable
た の し い
ta no shi i
はい、たのしいです。
Hai, tanoshii desu.
げんき and だいじょうぶ stay whole. Try Romaji off on はい if you like. You can always turn it back.
The chart records the learning. It does not dictate the learning.
Your Hiragana
は, す, か, し, た, and の are already yours. Sit with them.
Next: the same ですか — now for a name.
