- The study of Japanese language and culture can be a rewarding, ì
- lifelong experience. The complexity of the Japanese language ì
- cannot be denied but the basics of the language are not difficult ì
- to grasp. English is a language with as many quirks (albeit ì
- different ones) as Japanese.
-
- Even if you know all the rules of a language, you still can't ì
- communicate in it unless you have a vocabulary. The only way to ì
- build a vocabulary is by rote memorization. It was how you ì
- learned your basic addition and multiplication tables. From that ì
- point on, you were able to use the rules of mathematics - to ì
- speak its language.
-
- Electronic Flashcards takes the same approach. Just as you may ì
- have used flashcards in elementary school to master simple ì
- addition, we present a basic Japanese vocabulary. Many of the ì
- lessons also present a number of the patterns necessary for ì
- expressing yourself in an appropriate Japanese sentence ì
- structure. Study them. Memorize them. There is no substitute.
-
- All material in the Electronic Flashcard system is presented in ì
- romaji (English character representation of Japanese syllables). ì
- On the computer screen, examples may be presented in Hiragana or ì
- Katakana as well as romaji.ì
-
- The program presents a number of options for studying and ì
- reviewing the material. Start by selecting Japanese to English ì
- translation. Test yourself, sequentially at first, in one ì
- category at a time. Graduate to random testing in one category, ì
- and finally to random testing throughout the entire lesson. Then ì
- try the English to Japanese translation option using the same ì
- pattern of testing.

- documentation, nor do we have a toll-free support phone number. ì
- Instead, we have made the programs as self-instructing as ì
- possible. We encourage you to help us improve the product by ì
