japanese greetings/pronounciation

[vdh1982]

for morning circle try to do two words a day,review previous words next day and introduce two new words.

good morning O-ha-yo  Go-za- i- ma-su

good afternoon Kon- ni- chi-wa

goodbye           sa-yo-na-ra

The pronunciation of Japanese is quite simple. Its more like your trying to skip on as many vowels as you can without it sounding like another word. For example the word "desu" is most of the times pronounced as "dehs".

The vowels of Japanese are pronounced different than that of English in that they dont change becuase of other vowels in the same word or by consonants.

• a: ah
• i: ee
• u: oo
• e: eh
• o: oh

I thought them good morning and good afternoon today! They learned it like ninjas. The fan with the younger ones went excellent, Adrianna even thought of making the handle part beads as a necklace! It was awesome!
