It’s not hard at all. Write them down as notes, practice each 20 times before moving on, and also try using flashcards.
i’ve only been learning them online so i didn’t know that you weren’t supposed to connect them, thank you!
they can hear the difference, it’d be written like su-i-ti or something but be said city.
You use “arigatou gozaimashita” when the action has been done. And “arigatou goizaimasu” when it’s going to be done.
So it depends on the context.
is it arigatou gozaimashita or arigatou gozaimasu
My favorite is a place in Japan called “First Kitchen.” The first is abbreviated “fua” and kitchen is abbreviated “kin” to say “fua-kin.”
I used to be in the same boat, so I know how you feel. It truly does take a lot of practice and even once you know them, you’ll find your reading speed is very slow as you’re processing each kana independently.
I got all of my practice by writing when I was bored in-class, writing on the back of trashed receipts (at where I worked on slow days), and writing on the paper table mats at a breakfast restaurant I frequented. Just keep writing them again and again, or use visual imagery to help.
This is so helpful, I can’t express it enough. Thankyou! <3
Yup “shi”, they don’t have the sound “c” so they’ll pronounce “shi-ty” instead of “city”. Cute.
I Loooooove these lessons.
I did not know about a different ?.
?????????????
It just takes practice. And at least you don’t have to learn capitals and small letters like in Latin characters.
This is extremely useful! Thanks so much!:)
This is really helpful. Thank you. ^^
