Tae Kim's Japanese guide to learning Japanese grammar - 0 views

  • these textbooks try to teach you Japanese with English
  • In Japanese, the most fundamental grammatical concepts are the most difficult to grasp and the most common words
    have the most exceptions.
  • My advice to you when practicing Japanese: if you find
    yourself trying to figure out how to say an English thought in Japanese, save yourself the trouble and quit because you won't get it right almost
    100% of the time. You should always keep this in mind: If you don't know how to say it already, then you
    don't know how to say it.

  • Examples and experience will be your main tools in mastering Japanese.
  • Japanese consists of two alphabets (or kana) called hiragana and katakana
  • There exists over 40,000 kanji where about
    2,000 represent over 95% of characters actually used in written text.
  • There are no spaces in Japanese
  • Kanji is also useful for discriminating between homophones
  • Hiragana is used mainly for grammatical purposes.
  • extremely difficult or rare kanji,
    colloquial expressions, and onomatopoeias
  • katakana
  • mainly used to represent newer words imported from western countries
  • Intonation of high and low pitches is a crucial aspect of the spoken language.
  • The largest barrier to proper and natural sounding speech
    is incorrect intonation.
  • Hiragana is the basic Japanese phonetic alphabet.
  • the stroke order and direction of the strokes matter.
  • a double quotation mark called dakuten (濁点)
    or a tiny circle called handakuten (半濁点)
  • a voiced consonant or 「濁り」,
