Some locals, Lacasse, Arkansas, hello and welcome to your second lesson of the Japanese for Beginners
course, this is your teacher and let's get started.
So I want us to review the Japanese rating system.
So the Japanese rating system, as we have discussed before, consists of rewriting scripts.
So the first one is hiragana, hiragana.
And we have learned hiragana in our previous lesson already.
And the second one is katakana katakana, which we will learn today, and the third one is kanji kanji.
So do you remember what we use each of these writing scripts for?
So, yes, hiragana is used for purely Japanese words, grammatical endings or writing honorifics,
katakana is used for foreign words, people's names, names of places, food.
So basically all the words that came from other countries.
And the last one is kanji kanji, which came from ancient China and.
Kanji, they can show us a word or we can show us the concept of something, so let's analyze this sentence
one more time, Ardizzone somewhat Kagi Autobus, Ålesund, somewhat Jiegu Tubman's.
Ardizzone son, Alison.
Kiki Cake, Pabey Mass will eat or eat, so.
Salwa.
Or in their mosques are all written in hiragana, hiragana.
We can see it because they're very covid, very elegant.
They're not sharp at all.
However, early song added some name, Allison and Kicky Cake.
They're both written in katakana and we can see it because katakana is really, really sharp compared
to hiragana.
And the last part tabatabai, this is a kanji.
Very good.
So let's start off with the first five sounds of hiragana at the AI or.
So we have our.
He.
The.
A.
It and or or so now let's look at the stroke order, so the first rule could be here one one with this
sharp angle.
One and the second stroke would go top to bottom to.
To so we have one and two for E, we have stroke from top to left like one.
One goes to the right side and it goes to the left side one, and then we have top to bottom to sew
one and two, very good for katakana.
The first stroke would be here one.
The second stroke would be here, too, and the first would be three, so we have one to.
Three perfect for air, we have first here, one left to ride horizontal one, then top to bottom two
and three would be the same line as here, but a bit longer.
Three left to right horizontal.
So one, two, three, perfect.
Now let's move to all.
Our first job would be left to right horizontally one.
Second stroke would be to.
And this would be our third stroke, the.
One, two, three.
Great, let's move on to our Keyline, which is.
Ka ke.
He.
COO, coo.
OK.
OK, and so we have got to cook or Cocchi cook, very good.
So let's start off with our strokes.
The first stroke will be one.
One in our second stockwood go top to bottom to.
One to perfect for key, we have left the right one.
Left to right, second one, but a bit longer, two and then top to bottom three, so you have one to
three reichard.
For cool, this would be our first stroke one.
One and a second stroke would be here to so one and two perfect.
That's our call for care.
This would be a first stroke here, so top to bottom one.
Left or right, two and then three, top to bottom again.
So we have one.
Do three perfect and last one call, we would have one.
To.
One to so we have this angle, 90 degrees one and then to perfect, so we have got to be good.
OK, great.
Let's move on to our line and here we have sap.
SAP.
S..
She sit, sit, sit, sit.
And so, so so we have she's says, so sad, she said so.
So I first drove for sale would be horizontal stroke one.
So the first drug for sale would be here, left to right horizontally one.
Our second stroke would be here top to bottom two, and it's quite short, so don't make it too long
to an unfit stroke would be like this three.
So we have left to right, top to bottom, short, top to bottom with a curve.
Perfect.
Now, moving on to she she saw a first book would be here one.
Our second stroke would be here, too, and a third stroke, and this is very important, it has to
go up.
So like this up.
Up, so we have one, two, and then we're going up.
Perfect.
And this is very important to remember the stroke of sheep, because we will have another katakana character,
which will be quite similar and the stock order will define their differences.
OK.
Perfect.
Now, let's move on to the first joke will go like this.
One.
One and the second stroke will be here, too, so we have one.
To perfect, that's our soup for our first stroke would be here one.
One.
And our second stroke would be to so we have one to perfect and for so so our first hope would be here
one and a second stroke would be top to bottom, top to bottom one, top to bottom.
Please also remember this one, because we will have a character that will look alike with saw as well.
OK, so here we have sat, sit, sit, sit.
So.
Very good.
Now, let's move on to tip line line, so here we have that see that the.
That she said that the.
That it's not very good now let's look at the stroke order, so for the first stroke would be this one
top to bottom one.
The second stop would be this one to.
And that first stroke would be this one three.
So we have one.
To three.
Perfect.
Moving on to the first look would be.
Right to left one.
The second stroke would be left to, right to, and then we would go top to bottom.
So we have right to left, left to right and top to bottom.
Perfect.
Moving on to so so and if you remember ah she she we look alike.
We both look like smiley faces.
Right.
So the stroke order for this one we have one, two and then we would go top to bottom one to top to
bottom.
Perfect for the first year could be a horizontal stroke, so we have one.
The second would be also a horizontal stroke, but a bit longer than the one before, too, and this
would be a first stroke three.
So we have one to three PETHICK.
That's Artnet.
And photo, the first stroke would be top to bottom one.
And this would be our second stroke to one to perfect, so this is our time line that she that the.
Now let's move on to our online.
Where we have not Nina.
No, not me, not nanny nooner, not very good.
Now, let's look at the stroke order.
So for now, the first stroke is a horizontal stroke, left or right one.
And the second stroke is top to bottom to so we have one to perfect second stroke, for me, the first
stroke would be one.
And the second stroke would be a bit longer, but also horizontal to so we have one, two, very easy.
For now, however, the first hope would be like this one.
One and second stroke would be to.
So we have one to.
For the first stroke is the top stroke one.
The second stroke is to the first stroke is three and this is four, so we have one top to bottom to
three.
Top to bottom or.
Amazing, and for now, we just have top to bottom one.
Amazing, so here we have not, Nina, not.
Now, let's move on to our H line, where we have ha hee for her ha ha ha ha ha ha for haw.
So for the stroke order of ha, we have one.
And to.
One and two, they're good for him.
Our first stop would be this one left to right one.
One and a second stroke would be this one, too, so we have one, two, four, four is just one stroke.
So it's very easy.
One.
For her, it's also only one stroke, one.
One.
And for what we have for strokes, we have one, two, three or so, we have horizontally going one
vertically going to then we have three and four.
So this is our HLN hot.
He had hot.
And now let's move to our minds, we have my meet.
Matt, Matt, Matt.
Mark, meet Mark.
Matt, Matt, Matt.
OK, let's look at the stroke order of map, so the first stroke is one.
One, and the second stroke is two, so we have one.
Very good for me.
We have three strokes, so we have one to three.
So we have one short, too short.
And three is the longest one.
One, two, three, then and then.
Very good.
Our third one more.
So the first stroke would be this one.
One, one.
To second stroke there, stroke, second stroke, one, two.
One, two, very good.
Met, the first joke would be one.
To stop second stroke, first stroke, second stroke was met.
And for more, we have first stroke.
Second stroke.
Third stroke.
Stroke, stroke.
Stroke more.
So we have Matt meet my mom, and that's our Emeline, very good guy, it's.
So now let's take a look at these three one.
So now let's take a look here we have yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea.
Perfect.
So the first look for you would be this one very sharp one one, and the second one would be top to
bottom to one to one, two.
And this one is a bit to the side.
As you have noticed, good services, yap, yap for you.
We have one.
So this is a first stroke, one and two.
Is this one a long one?
One to you and for you, we have three strokes.
So this is our first one.
One.
Due to analysis, so we have one, two, three, are you good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now we are moving to our hour line, so we have so here we have that ready to do it, a real.
That any little in a not so the stroke order for one, this is the first one horizontal stroke one and
the second stroke would be this one to do.
And if you take a look here, the bottom part looks exactly like katakana for.
OK, so you have one and two.
Perfect.
Now, so our first joke is this one one one, and the second one is to the curb.
One and two at the curb.
That's it.
He actually wrote the first stroke is this one one one and the second one is two to roll it up.
For that, we only have one stroke, which is one one.
One, this is it, it, it, it, and the four, we have three strokes, we have one.
Two, three, so we're writing like a little square.
We're making a square, so we have one.
Two, three, and this our raw raw, so we have that the battle that brought that to you today, hero
Derrick.
Now we have two more, we have a lot and lot and.
So for what the order would be like this one.
One and two, one and two, one and two with this is what, what and for whom, we have struck one and
number two would go up to one and two.
And so we have what and.
Now, just like in hiragana and katakana, we also have diacritical marks, so we have these students
and then then and we have this one around one.
And if you remember these two, that critical marks may help us to make new sounds without actually
making new letters, you know?
Let's take a look.
So this is Stenton, and its original name is the Kitten that could then that could then.
And this is a little circle, a little bubble, and its name is Hunda.
Could then handle then.
But you don't need to remember these ones because they're quite scientific, you know.
So just remember how to write them and how to use them.
So how to write them, you just do them then two little lines in here and make a small bubble.
Very good.
Now, do you remember what letters this?
This is Hiragana Copp.
Can't be that good, then it becomes got got and we write it on the right side, right.
So from Carr it becomes that the.
Now, if car became car, when we use these diacritical marks, what would these?
So he could get caught in what into what sound would they turn?
Let's think about it.
I will give you five seconds.
So, yes, they would turn into.
Ye.
Go, go, get.
Get go, go.
Very good.
So we have got the get go, got gigaton got.
Now, here we had some sea salt, but with that critical marks.
These sounds become that that Dee Dee, Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa, very good.
Now, line to see that dog would become that the G.
G Zsa Zsa that they the.
So so it would become that Jesus, the doll that they don't.
For each line from hot, he flew Heigh ho.
They would become ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.
So we have ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.
You get.
Now, if we add that little circle, the H line would become pop pop.
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.
Now, just like in hiragana and katakana, we also have contracted sounds with yeah, yeah, ya, you
and your.
If you remember, we need to write this contract.
It sounds yet you're very smart, very smart.
So if normal I would be big like this for contract sounds it would be half of a real letter like half
the size.
Let's take a look.
So if we have katakana key key and we add yeah.
Yeah.
Please take a look at how this one is smaller than normal at the Canaletto together.
If we put them in becomes yeah.
Yeah.
So keep plus here is not key.
It's Yeah.
Yeah yeah.
The good.
Now, let's take a look at examples of contracted sounds in katakana.
Yeah.
Q.
Cure, cure, and with diacritical marks.
Yeah, yeah, good, do your job.
So we have yet to get you.
Go check you, Joe.
Good.
You're very good.
I have a contract that sounds.
Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
And with that, critical marks, Jaap de de de de jure.
So we have Shazza so Janjua Joe Shasha judge's job.
Very good.
Then we have cha cha.
To to Joe, Joe, Jack, to Joe.
Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh.
No, no, not me, not so we have Chacho nanny in charge of your nanny, not.
And for our each line we have.
Yeah, yeah, shoot, shoot your your best.
Yeah bu bu bu bu bu bu bu bu bu.
Your Yahoo, your baby will pick up your great job.
And meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.
Yeah, you know, yeah, that dude.
So we have meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow that you don't get.
Now, just like in hiragana and katakana as well, we have prolonged vowels, so let's take a look when
we have for a long ah, so let's say we have a sound car car.
If we want to make it sound double in hiragana, we would add an extra R, but in katakana we add this
line and then we know that it's prolonged.
So then we pronounce it as car car and then becomes double like this and we can transcribe it like this
car car.
Now if A double E e.
In hiragana, we would add an extra, but in katakana, again, we add this long line, so if we have
some key and we add this, it was some key key like this, prolonged for double or or we have sound
so.
So if we want to make it so longer, we add this line and then it sounds like so, so, so like this
or double air.
Let's say we have care.
Care, we want to prolong it.
We add to this line and it sounds care, care, care like this.
And for double or let's say we have Bo Bo we add this line, it sounds bo bo like this.
So we have car key.
So K bo so we need to add this line to prolong our vowels.
So now, just like hiragana katakana also has double consonants, and when we were talking about hiragana,
we added a small tool and we do the same thing with hiragana and we do the same thing with katakana.
We add a small tool, but katakana.
So the smiley face.
OK, one, two, three.
To make the consonant coming after double.
So let's take a look at this word.
Ga ga ga.
So because of this Monceau K becomes double and because of this prolonged line we have a prolonged vowel
ca so we have succah.
Very good.
Take a look at this example couple.
Couple, so P becomes double because we have A in between.
Because we have to be for couple now kids, kids, we have smarter before to cheat, so we have seen
very good.
So he becomes double P, becomes double K, becomes double as becomes double and she becomes double
acase.
All the concerns become double if we write small two before them.
So now because is used to ride on foreign words, sometimes we still have problems, you know, for,
um, transcribing what is written.
So sometimes we need to make special sounds in katakana to write down foreign words.
OK, so these are katakana, foreign sound combinations.
Let's take a look.
So we have O and small E next to it and then we would save it is we we like we then we are o o and a
small S or whether we like this way then we are o o and or wo wo like this she she and she said g and
it j j she and H.
So we have we where war say j j we make these special sounds to write down foreign words again.
We have far far fee fee the four four four five five four and de de de de de de de de deux five fifty
for t de do so.
Sounds like this.
Now let's practice.
You will see a katakana letter on the screen and I'll give you five seconds to think about it.
What letters.
OK, let's go.
Si, si.
So it's a.
He he.
That, that.
No, no.
So, so.
E!
He.
Or or.
Oh, oh.
Sape.
Not, not.
Hi.
Ma, ma.
You, you.
Raw, raw.
La, la.
Mm hmm.
Talk to.
G g.
The.
PA.
Per.
Ba bo.
Paw paw.
They the.
G g.
Zo zo.
They say.
Get, get.
Jill.
Joe.
So keep your your cool.
Yeah, yeah, me plus, yeah, yeah, yeah.
M. m. meet, bless your m. m..
Now let's practice let's try to write down these words in katakana.
Are you ready?
If you need more time, feel free to pause this lesson here and take as much time as you need.
OK, but right now I will give you around 10 seconds.
Let's go.
Now, if you wrote down America, America, it is in Greece, could I now could I in that it be that
had a better or worse idea or thought?
You are correct.
So the first one is United States.
Second is England.
Third one is Ukraine.
Fourth one is elevator.
And the last one is Australia.
Very good job.
Now let's try to write down these combinations of these katakana letters.
OK, I'll give you five seconds if you want.
You can posit here as well.
Let's go.
Oh, oh, i, i oh, oh, OK, next one.
I met, I met, I see I see us as very good.
Yeah, yeah, the the the a key, a key or a very good.
Karl, Karl, keep that keep that could come kishke, yes, key cocoa, cocoa.
Second, the fact that she got she got sick, got sick, send me send me soda soda.
Duck, duck.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
To thoroughly, thoroughly.
Now, my neighbor, my new neighbor in the in the Neco Neco, naughty, naughty.
Hannah, Hannah, he, Corky, Corky Fernet and that happy, happy on one.
My, my, Mitzi, Mitzi, Mercy, Mercy met my mom, mom.
Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yadda, yadda.
They then and I nailed it is it is sad, sad they see that I can see it also, but also look at all.
Without comment or comment then and then.
Well, come in, then.
That's someone you have worked so hard and you have finished learning hiragana and katakana, two out
of three Japanese writing scripts.
I am so, so proud of you and I can't wait to see you in our next lesson.
Until then, please review what you have learned and get ready to learn even more new things together
already.
Dog assignments.
And I'll see you in our next lesson, Mahtani.
