Lesson XIV

Japanese writing can be divided on KANJI (Chinese characters) and KANA (Japanese letters) and we can divide KANA on HIRAGANA and KATAKANA (which we use for writing names, plants, animals and for the words of non-Japanese origin).

And now we will learn how to write KATAKANA *evil laugh*

*wipes a sweat from her forehead* That was a lot of images to upload. I have more, so much more… about katakana, but that is part of a new lesson, thank god. And darlings... only 32 lessons to go. .

...You might want to make the images a little larger, or make them thumbnails that link to bigger images, cuz I can't read the words on them. ^^;; I recognize the writing exercises though, since I've done them before. XDD

Thanx for the effort again!

The images are if you download them quite bigger; but I will put a larger version of them in my next lesson.

It's a photobucket thing, isn't it? It seems to like reducing the size of images.

[elkica.livejournal.com]

Not really. I reduce size so that two images fits in the row.

Yes 32 lessons, but my japanese is very bad (I didn't do any studying of Japanese at home, too many other things to do); the sensei told us that the book, which we are half way through; the other half we have in advanced lessons, the regular students process it in one semester. I was like: "WTF?"

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

yeah you're such a busy person ) dispite others (thinking of herself)

they have more lessons - that's why )

[elkica.livejournal.com]
