Body Parts in Japanese. My ... Hurts!
Here's a useful phrase and a few body parts if you ever get into any accidents
in Japan! To say "My .... hurts", you simply say the body part
followed by 
. Click the body parts below to hear the pronunciation. You'll probably
also notice that in Japanese you say the same word for "leg"
or "legs" and "foot" or "feet". But strangely
enough they are written with different characters. So in this game you'll
have your first kanji test, telling the difference between 
( foot or feet ) and 
( leg or legs). Just remember that the leg one looks chunkier than the
foot one! OK, have a try with the game. To make it more fun, get a friend
on another computer and see who can finish the quickest. The English version
of this game is on CD4.
Recommended Courses
There are loads of great resources out there, and one of the good ones
is the "Pimsleur" series. They have a "Quick & Simple"
starter pack and also a full on "Gold Course". They are well
recommended if you want to learn Japanese, in January I used it to learn
everyday Spanish in a month!

Or for slightly cheaper, but one that requires a bit more work, you can have a look at the Living Language series. Although now I would prefer the Pimsleur course above, I actually used
the Living Language series myself when I first learnt Japanese. It's good,
but you have to keep repeating and repeating the same CDs, whereas the
Pimsleur makes you think more, and reviews the language as you go along.

All the Japanese on this page is suitable
for either guys or girls, and is pretty normal,
everyday Japanese. This means it's not too
formal, but you'll be fine as long as you
don't say it to anyone too posh!
