GREETINGS – common phrases you use when meeting somebody.
GREETINGS
For Beginner's stage, sound files are readily available at many sites for free, and
I think the sound files at Coscom are fantastic.
Each sound is a single syllable. You will notice some Romaji letters have an extra "o". "Do" is short sound, "Doo" is a longer sound. Sometimes "Doo" is also written as "Dou".
You will notice that some characters has a double apostrophe (called "tenten") like the word " ば " which is read "ba". At this stage, for the sake of conversation, we shall read Romaji. To make things simple, the additional sounds will be introduced later.
Disclaimer : In this blog, I'm sharing as accurately as possible how I had learned Japanese as a Beginner. This free series would attempt to introduce the Japanese Language to non- Japanese speakers, like me, to explore for free learning material available on the internet. Kindly evaluate and let me know if you spot any errors. Perhaps you would like to comment and share your learning experience with me. Hope you would find this page interesting.
