Telling the Time in Japanese

Once you've done the numbers, telling the time in Japanese is very simple. You just add "ji" to the number to get the "o'clock" part.

Try out the game below and see how you go. As with the other games, the best way to win is by making mistakes. After 20 minutes or so you'll have it mastered! If you're a teacher in Japan, your students might like the CD version of this game.





Learning to Read Japanese


Learning to speak Japanese is very easy because if you write it in the Roman Alphabet (so it looks like English!), the sounds are pretty much the same!

But if you learn the 46 letters of the Japanese "Katakana" alphabet, you'll be able to read a whole lot more! Try this talking page or the 4 katakana games to get an idea!

Move your mouse over the symbols below and you'll be able to hear the sounds, and some of the characters available in Japanese!



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!
