Lesson 2：かきくけこ
thanks for making this website! It’s very helpful for me
You are welcome！
This website is a boon to otakus like me who hope to watch animes without subtitles some day. Arigato gosaimasu Marshall sensei!!!
You are welcome! glad you like it. If you have any questions, you can ask me in the forum, I will answer all of your questions to support you!
I would adjust your description for あ (あ as in “antenna”). The sound a makes in the word “antenna” in English /æ/ does not match the sound of あ in Japanese /a/. I would find a better example word so learners aren’t confused.
Thanks! Let me know if you find one!
I love these mnemonics. Especially for お. Damn.
Starting out pretty good so far!
Great!

do you write the bottom part of え in one stroke (like the roman letter h) or do you write the 7 part then the other part?
one stroke

You should remember all of them, it will make your life easier!
Thank you very much for this website.
Hey man,
Is there a suggested time scale to the lesson plan in terms of where you should aim to be by a certain point (hours invested etc). I’m struggling just with the alphabet, haha.
Thanks.
It’s not easy to set up a time scale because everyone’s ability differs.😅
For basic conversational Japanese, is it best to learn this, or stick to learning phrases?
Hiragana/Katakana is the first step.
