Kanji II
人

ひと
Person;people
Example: こやませんせいはにほん人です。

子

子とも＝Child.
こ is the onlyreading I know. It's a radical of 学. It can be in a name, but it about.... 90% of the time in girl's names. If こ is in a guy's name, it'll probably be in 「ひこ」 context. Even when こ is in a guy's name, when spelled it probably won't use the kanji 子 because 子 it thought of as feminine.
校
http://www.a-chi.jp/_1_nen_Flash/1-27.swf
こう
none

The left radical means tree and the right radical means to go forth.

Classroom Culture
Traditionally when class starts and the teacher walks in he will say きりつ、れい、ちゃくせき. Meaning... Stand, bow, sit. (In context- rei can also mean "show respect.") A lot of teachers have done away with these old school methods, though.

HardLuck13 ]too much too read , tell me how to say , Die you dum sack of crap in jappanese please I don't think that is the main meaning of learning Japanese. Those kind of phrases can be said in any language but wouldn't you prefer to learn japanese well before starting to cuss around? And of course DON'T forget your manners.Japanese is a polite culture and language, japanese people don't really use cuss words or phrases. So they'll be quite shocked if they hear you say something like that.

Er. We are taught Japanese totally differently at my school...
And there are a few things that you posted that my teacher would consider incorrect... (Not that they are--my teacher is very formal.)
And... Ignoring a bit of the confusing parts and lack of organization, that's a decent guide! <3 Nice job, I like it. It's hard to find really good ones on Gaia.
Perhaps someone should make an alternative one, with formal usage, though... smile Or make your's clearer? XD;; I don't know. xD

The guide needs a pronunciation key, and seperation between English and Japanese words.
Also, perhaps some images, as most Northern American, Australian, and European people learn visually.
