I speak it with only relatives. Didn't really know the few Japanese people that were in my community.

So your problem is with Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji?

Well don't worry too much about Kanji or even Katakana for now. Just remember Hiragana. It's the basic basic thing you need. You technically don't need kanji, but it really helps since writing all hiragana is space consuming.

I might make a Hiragana flash card on this flash card program I just found on the web, and give it to you.

GET A WHITE BOARD!!!

Hiragana, katakana, KANJI.

Writing practice/example sentences with ease, quickness, and erasing it quickly.

It really helps in learning Japanese guys.

Also flash cards (that's why I'm going to experiment with the flash card program)

Say the hiragana out loud, over and over.

Write the hiragana (on a white board) over and over.

Here, from now on (and I'll edit the last lesson too) so that it'll be hiragana and English on the bottom.

TYPE　HIRAGANA　USING　THIS！！！

Since　you'll be using the "sounds", you'll be able to speak it easily when you do this.

Thanks Avkod.

I start learning it by this evening repot back on my progress.

Does it work on Vista?

Haha, don't get your expectations high. It's ok if you don't learn hiragana instantly.

Here, just be able to write:
あいうえお

And be able to say the "あいうえお song"

Remember, it's just a, i, u, e, o + k (ka, ki, ku, ke, ko); a, i, u, e, o + s (sa, shi, su, se, so)

A, ka, sa, ta, na. Ha, ma, ya, ra, wa.

That'll be for this week.

Next week make learn the "ten ten's" （ぎ、び）

゛

And the "maru's"　（ぴ）

Roseta Stone？

Should　since it's the biggest language learning program I know O.o

wow, you broke it very nicely. I think you should be called Akvod-Sensei

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana#Table_of_hiragana

That'll make what I said even clearer.

A, ka, sa, ta, na. Ha, ma, ya, ra, wa. Is just the vertical collumn. A, i, u, e, o is the horrizontal

Is the Yoon meant to represent the plural?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youon

Not at all. It's just another sound (just like hiragana, except it's made with a combination of two sounds).

So you have

き- ki

や- ya

きゃ -kya

さ　-sa

や　-ya

しゃ -sha

So just look over the hiragana side of the table in the Wikipedia page, and just say it out loud.

Kya, sha, cha, nya, hya, etc

Eg's of words that use Yoon:

しゃしん (sha-shinn "camera")

にゃ~　（onomotopeia "Meow")
