Number 5

こんにちは!

Right to it, shall we?

あ = (a) ah     か = ka     が = ga     さ = sa
い = (i) ee     き = ki      ぎ = gi       し = shi (tricky one, there is no 'si' in the Japanese language)
う = (u) oo     く = ku      ご = gu      す = su
え = (e) eh     け = ke     げ = ge      せ = se
お = (o) oh     こ = ko     ご = go      そ = so

Now, for more dakuten fun! The one's we learned yesterday and going to don them, and hello! 'Z' kana!

ざ = za
じ = ji (except this tricky one) gee
ず = zu
ぜ = ze
ぞ = zo

Now, for some vocabulary!
Unfortunately, I can't find any vocabulary that doesn't include kana that we haven't gone over.
So, just some more basic words.

かお = (kao) face
き = (ki) tree. I know, I said before that it was soul, spirit. And it is! This is where Kanji comes in. And the context in which the words is used...
じかん = (jikan) time. I FOUND ONE! This じ was one we learned today!
あさ = (asa) morning
そこ = (soko) there (close to the person being spoken to)
あそこ = (asoko) over there (away from speaker and listener)
じ = (ji) letter, character
すうじ = (suuji) numbers
かぎ = (kagi) key, door bolt
おいしい = (oishii) delicious, tasty.

And ten new shiny words to use!
Have fun with them! Say them! They are going to feel awkward and strange, but trust me, you do get used to it. And using them will make them stick. Well, will help anyway, lol.

And if anyone has any question, please feel free to ask. IF I mess something up, please point it out! I am still learning this too!

さよなら! (sayonara)
