   Japanese
Hiragana - just a normal Japanese alphabet.
Katakana - used for foreign words. When you go to Japan your name will be written in this alphabet.
Kanji - 2000 characters borrowed from the Chinese.

The 5 main sounds you need to know are: a, i, u, e, o or a, e, i, o, u.

You pronounce “a” like Ah! In AH MAN!
“i” like the “i” in Machine.
“u” like the “oo” in food.
“e” like the “e” in Set.
“o” like the “o” in Note.
So “Ka” would be pronounced like the “ka” in KaKadoodle do. (couldn’t think of anything else)
“Bi” would be pronounced like…..Bee.
“Pu” would be pronounced like…..poo. -_-’
“He” would be pronounced like the “he” in heaven.
“Ko” would be pronounced like the “ko” in coco puffs.



Good Morning - Ohayoo Gozaimasu (ignore the u in masu its pronounced like the mas in Christmas. This is true for all Masu words so keep that in mind)

Good Afternoon - Konnichi Wa ( I hope you know this word, if you don’t how can you call your self a anime fan!)

Good Evening - Konban Wa ( Ban is pronounced like Bon in James Bond, Same idea with Kon except use "ko" like in coco puffs and add the "n" sound at the end)

Its good weather, isn’t it? - Ii Otenki Desu Ne (Desu is like Masu don’t say the “u” on the end)

It’s hot isn’t it? - Atsui Desu Ne ( Tsu is pronounced like too su but say it fast - like how “Su” would be pronounced in Japanese with a “t” in front of it. This one is hard to explain if you don’t get it pm me and I’ll try my best to help you out)

It’s really coming down, isn’t it? (talkin about rain) - Yoku Furimasu Ne (don’t for get Mas not ma-su)

It is, isn’t it? - Soo Desu Ne ( don’t for get Des like Mas Not De-Su)
