 ★★★ Konnichiwa Ricky-san, ..................................................................................
How much Japanese do you know so far? You said you're new, and you've shown that you know "konnichiwa." Do you know anything else by any chance? Have you taken a look at the written Japanese alphabets before?
The reason I'm asking is it would be helpful to get some idea of where you are so that others can help you proceed in your studies and practices.★★★

 ★★★ Okay, well how about we get you familiar with the first of the three alphabets? I won't throw them all at you, I'll only do five at a time. The reason why it's important to learn them in the beginning is so that as you progress, they'll become more and more familiar with them, and you'll be able to develop some degree of reading proficiency in Japanese.
Does that sound okay?★★★

 ★★★ Okay, we'll begin with the first five. Use whatever method you think is best for memorizing these. I'll give you something like a quiz afterwards.あ A (as in "amazing")い I (as in "elite")う U (like "roof")え E (as in "pencil")お O (as in "horror")★★★

 ★★★ Um ... I'm not sure how to teach how to write them. It sucks that you don't have MSN because there's this option where you can draw in MSN. I could show you that way easily. Perhaps you do not need to worry about writing right now. I think just being able to recognize the characters is enough.★★★
