learn japanese

Konnichiwa! Okay, I don't know Japanese and I don't claim to know Japanese. Despite that, I do know a few words, so I've posted them up on this page. The left column is japanese (obviously). By the way, remember that when saying these words, they sound differently than how they may be spelled here. For example, the word 'kore' is not pronounced like 'core' in english, but instead is pronounced so that the e sounds like the e in 'bell'. It's kinda hard to explain but you'll get it!
