How about people who are learning Japanese and Korean? Because I know some of the basics of Japanese... I also know the Japanese and Korean alphabet... I know that reading from romanized Korean isn't very reliable... since there have been 2 ways to romanize their alphabet... so it's better to learn the alphabet to recognize the proper way of pronounciation and what not. But anyway... let me try teaching Korean! (maybe just one word... since I don't know a lot in the first place) I'll romanize words with the most recent standard... 'an nyeong ha se yo' is basically 'how are you' and is used as a basic greeting, like how 'ni hao ma' is used in chinese. an - the 'a' is pronounced like 'ah' nyeong - the 'eo' is pronounced like 'aw' in law ha - ha as in 'haha' se - the 'e' is pronounced like 'eh' yo - the 'o' is pronounced like 'oh' with less emphasis on the h... ... Here's my contribution! Not the best, but it's a start... haha, that much for just one word... (I think it can be shortened, but I don't remember to what...) langintro.com/kintro/This link will probably be better in teaching the alphabet and the pronounciation... |

Haha...
So seeing these phrases...
Does it bring back any memories?
How hard to memorize the romanji?
I only learnt romanji, and nothing else in jap..
So i'm considered those that knows nothing..
Haiz...
All these are quite common...
I can't remember anymore liao...
But i guess, i will remember somemore if i think hard enough...
