Half Term

Hi
I've just recovered from a slight temperature.
Sat night to Mon day. I had a few bad dreams.

Japanese Part 1

Hello all,

Against my intentions, I felt I could start an online Japanese tutorial!

First of all, how to say Hello.

It is Konnichiwa as people think it is.
However, be very very very very careful how you actually say it.
English people often just say 'konichiwa'.
However, in reality it is 'konnichiwa'
How to practice saying it in this way is saying each 'part' at a time.
So, that would mean you say it as ko-n-ni-chi-wa.
If you get used to it, start speeding up how fast you say it. But be careful you still have two 'n's.

BTW, in Japanese, it is written as こんにちは　（some write it as こんにちわ）

More to follow...

...

You know what, I can't actually think of anything to write.

I've been reading a few Japanese books because I can't think of a good English book to read.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
