Grammar rules
September 1, 2006I’ve memorized hiragana and katakana.
I’ve taken to heart the japanese names for apple (ringo), pepper (gosho), and vinegar (su), and egg (tamago).
I’ve image-associated the varous question headers: who = dare, how much = ikura, where = doko…
I’ve encountered choice kanji and daily phrases.
Now it’s time for grammar.
My whole approach to the japanese language (and to future languages) is learning the basic rules and a whole lot of memorization.
And memorization in this case is learning four writing systems and one spoken system.
Until I start to think in japanese.
The thing with learning grammar all the stuff I’ve ignored about it (definitions of future perfect, particles, etc.) are coing back into play a big way.
I suppose I could learn japanese the same way I learned english: imersion in practical applications.
