Hello!

Excuse me for my latish answering. I´ve been very busy with my job these days. So I also couldn´t spare some time for continuing my Japanese studies

In contrast I have difficulties, to clip the vowels (like u and i) and to find the right accent-bearing letter on speaking Japanese. It also makes it difficult to understand spoken words and sentences. One mistake and the word gets an different meaning.

Oh yes, the Kanjis are more than a bit difficult. They´re one entirely different subject. I only know a very small number of Kanjis and I have to confess, that I really haven´t any clue of how to learn those complex and multitudinous characters ever.
For now, I´m endeavouring to first understand and second speak Japanese.

Is it right, that children in Japan at first learn reading in Hiragana- and Katakana-Charakters? I heard, that there are even children´s books written in these two writings.

ご挨拶をもちまして


素晴らしい日ですね
