Lesson 4

こんにちは!

ごめん! (gomen)
Sorry I skipped yesterday, but I hope you had time to review and go over the dakuten. We will be using it again tomorrow.

But for now, let's review.

あ = (a) ah          が = (ga)
い = (i) ee           ぎ = (gi)
う = (u) oo           ぐ = (gu)
え = (e) eh           げ = (ge)
お = (o) oh          ご = (go)

か = (ka)
き = (ki)
く = (ku)
け = (ke)
こ = (ko)

Awwww, look, 15 bright and shiny kana! And you know them! You can read them! Woot!

Time to add 5 more!
Here are the 's' kana.

さ = (sa) sah
し = (shi) (oops! it broke the pattern... ) she
す = (su) sue
せ = (se) like 'set' without the t.
そ = (so) so

Bam! An even twenty!

Now for some words...
さく = (saku) = to blossom (pretty, right?)
すし = (sushi) = sushi (see what I did there? Hehe)
すき = (suki) = like or love (not THAT love)
せんせい = (sensei) = teacher (School teacher is different)
さか = (saka) = hill, slope
すごい = (sugoi) = Wow! or Awesome! BUT (kicker here) it can also mean awful, depending on the context. Most common as awesome, however.
せい = 9sei) = cause, or reason
そくそく = (sokusoku) = keenly, or heartily.

Okay, I have to call it a night as work calls.
See you tomorrow!
さよなら!(sayonara)
