Do you know three big difference between Japanese and English?

 １. Japanese use three different writings, Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji

  1.  Hiragana ひらがな  Hints: how to memorize Hiragana?

2. Katakana カタカナ3. Kanji 漢字    

Ⅱ. Japanese sentence structure is different from English

      Japanese: S (subject) + O (object) + V (verb)

      English: S (subject) + V (verb) + O (object)  

Ⅲ. Japanese pronunciation   

    ◆ consonants + 5 vowels (a, i, u, e, o)

◆ Intonation pattern
