Basic Japanese

[konoha-flash.livejournal.com]

Yondaime smiled from the front of the class as he passed out this week's sheets to everyone. "Hi all, sorry about me being gone last week, there was a family situation at home. But this week we're continuing on with slang that Deadpool should have given you a small taste of last week."

"Informal Japanese or slang is much easier than what you've learned so far. There is very little use of particles, and no 'desu's to be seen. The list that I've given you is a basic list for greeting and asking people how they are. I think compaired to the formal list it's amazingly easy," he grinned. "Today's class just practise the list from this week and last, your homework is to confuse someone by speaking Japanese at them. Other than that I hope you all have a good day off tomorrow."
