Welcome to DJT.
This thread was inspired by the DJT threads on 4chan /jp/ and /int/.
This thread is for the discussion of Japanese learning.
It is also where I will document my own personal learning.
Everyday I will upload my notes and the new things I've learned (or I will rope (if I miss a single day), you guys can hold me to that) all the way up until when I leave for Japan at the end of December.
Somedays I may post multiple updates. I will put in at least an hour a day and show what I was able to accomplish during that time here.
To begin with I started Japanese From Zero 1.
The beginning was just about pronounciation and introducing what the three writing systems.
Hiragana (for Japanese words, phonetic symbols), Katakana (for foreign words in Japanese, phonetic symbols) and Kanji (Chinese character system).
I didn't Katakana was just for foreign words so I learned something. The book will teach me Hiragana first and you'll see me make progress with that in this thread.
I already understood the pronunciation of the 5 main Japanese vowels from watching anime and from Japanese language learning audio CDs I've used in the past.
Moving on the numbers were introduced.
Here are my notes for the numbers, in the next updates I will continue to work with the numbers but this is what I have for now. Except more on numbers soon.
I know the numbers are pussy stuff that anyone can do but bear with me here. I'm pretty much starting from zero (pun intended). I will post more exciting notes as my studying continues day by day.
This is just the first entry. As I said there will be one new entry every single day up until I leave for Japan at the end of December or I'll rope (serious, hold me accountable guys)
I take this very seriously which is why I chose to keep these notes in a block notebook to represent how grave this matter is for me..
