How do you Japanese?

By: Jonathan S./grade 10th

How did we get here?Ok, I'm assuming that you want to go to japan, or just wanna go straight up unleash your love to anime in Japanese. Well, I just got the right thing for you all out there. First of all, I'm just gonna say that Japanese is hard, it's not your typical easy to learn language like English, and it takes years to be fluent at it. So all right then, let's go to our first step learning the almighty language Japanese.

行くぞおおおお!!!

1. Memorizing Hiragana and Katakana (The Kanas)

ok, you might be thinking this is actually hard, but it's actually the easiest part of learning Japanese. In fact, you could take only about 1 day to actually memorize these Kanas. It's easier than you thought, trust me :3

2. Start learning grammar and particles(also kanji)

I'm not gonna include all grammar in Japanese here obviously, you need to learn them somewhere else like tae-kim or imabi for grammars. But I'm going to mention the daily used particles in Japan.

「は」The particle that marks a subject before noun

「が」Usually used for marking a subject with an adjective「形容詞」or as "but"

「に、で、へ」I don't really wanna explain this one, but I call it as the location trinity since they're usually used to mark a location, but they're used differently from one another. (please check other websites for more info for them)

「と」usually works as an "and", but there are other more usages when you get to experience Japanese more.

And of course, memorize some kanji while you learn that, for examples: 私、皆、etc.

3. This is actually the final step, I'm gonna end this tutorial by saying PLEASE TRY TO SPEAK JAPANESE WITH OTHER PEOPLE while you're learning. There are tons of ways that you can do to speak with other person who's also trying to learn Japanese, or even Natives. Personally, I use discord servers to try and speak with both natives and fluent people there. Also, don't be afraid to make some mistakes, you don't have to feel bad just because you're bad at Japanese, I met so many good people out there that helped my Japanese even though I'm not that good at it. Speak more, and learn more, is my conclusion to this tutorial, hope this helps. じゃね～

可愛いでしょう？ww　頑張って下さい皆さん
