そうですね。でも、ちょっとかわいそうです。〜笑

change かわいそう to 寂しい, your sentence would be less awkward
It's not wrong though.

最近、勉強するのモチベーションがない。どうしよう？

"U don't know kanji?"

Kanji ga shiranai desu ka

Kanji wa shiranai desu ka

Or

Kanji shiranai desu ka

How do I say?

"Once in a while, do remember us"

Google translate mcm lain....

tama ni wa watashitachi no koto wo omoidashite ne/dase yo
particle wo is optional.

Quick question. Which is better for a total beginner, Minna no Nihongo or Genki series?

Little backstory: I just found some journal of my great grandfather, which is in Japanese, dated back from late WW2. I know I could just pay someone to translate them but I want to read it myself. Any starter tips guys?

try taekim
or for long term learning, try Anki flash cards software

Thanks! Just read your profile signature. Guess if I gave up, I'll know who to call

tama ni watashitachi no koto oboete ne

Bumped to activate it

i always want to learn japanese but always never put on effort. shame on me.

BTW some useful free pc software that i have found on internet:
Tagaini Jisho
KanjiTomo

Rikaichan probably everybody have that already

err guys, can anyone help in guiding me in some particles in hiragana. My main concern is regarding the は(ha) particle. Because sometimes it's pronounced as (ha) and sometimes or frequently it'll be pronounced as (wa) when it's used as a topic marker particle right?? unsure.gif

Okay, for eg;

おかあさんははなをすきです。(Mother likes flower)

1)In the above case, the は is not pronounced as ha, but (wa) because it acts as a marker for the topic おかあさん, rite?? But, what if a person's name is, say, for eg; Hayako(はやこ), then if it's written like that then wouldn't it be read as "Wayako" instead?? When should it be read as "ha" and "wa" for は?

2) Based on the sentence above, is it okay if i were to simply write any sentence based on the model above, which is Subject-Object-Verb?? Like, if in English, it's He reads book, but in japanese it is "He book reads".. Is it alright??

3) Also, I've got a slightly long term route in self studying and learning Japanese, but I'd wanna know what is the best possible route since for now, I only know how to read hiragana, but don't understand it. Should I:

A) learn Katakana -> learn Kanji -> learn vocabulary -> learn how to form sentence
B) learn vocabulary of Hiragana-> learn Katakana -> Kanji -> forming complete sentence
C) learn vocabulary and also forming sentence in Hiragana -> Katakana -> Kanji

Which would be the best possible route so I'm able to quickly learn Japanese as a beginner? I'm at a loss lol

1. Topic marker particle は is pronounced as "wa". Other than topic marker particle is "ha"

2. Yes kut. That's the basic sentence structure.

3. Up to u la... Everyone learning method differ

おかあさんははながすきです。

particle が must be used when expressing the idea of liking smtg.

が, but why not を?? isn't を is used as object marking particles, especially when in this case the object is はな, regardless of whether it's an act of liking or not?

btw, can you tell me where/which website that you gain access to in order to learn japanese?? i wanna learn japanese as my long term activity
