					<description>I think it's too bad that this lesson's audio is under the basic/premium section. I'm really interested in learning everything I can about Japan and Japanese, but I don't have even a Basic account because I don't have any way to pay online. Will the rest of the all about lessons be only for paying members?</description>

					<description>Hé 

When you went over genki and said how it means energetic.
It reminded me of how I ussually explain the meaning of genki desu ka,
because genki means energie, your actually asking if that person has a lot of energie and if you have a lot of energie your doing fine.
Would that be a good expanation? Because there are a few people, that are also trying to learn Japanese and sometimes ask me questions so I'm pretty much there senpai. of course i tell them it's a good idea to go here, because you guys know way more then me. 

Now if you want to learn kana i strongly recommend to buy my japanese coach thars how i got it done it has a lot of games and different evaluation methods to test your knowledge of kana and japanese language.
there are a couple of features in the game where you can decide if you want to have your tests in kana or romaji.
hope it's usefull

					<description>Firestone-san,
Good point:wink:
Actually Japanese language has tone as you mentioned but it is different that of Chinese language.
We basically have high-low and low-high and their conbinations.

harumi-san,
Unfortunately this Lesson notes doesn't have a chart but you can see it with audio on the page of "hiragana chart" and "Katakana chart" in Reference Materials.

Jason-san,
good:grin:
Da sound is phonetically similar to Japanese ra sound.
I think you have a sensitive ear and tongue:wink:</description>

					<description>I think I'm lucky that I'm on trial...
  This makes some sense, an I have notes... maybe ill be fine... maybe I'll need a native speaker, maybe not... you never know...


Also, are the rest of them going to be on basic???? If so, I only will be able to have a free account for nothing. :cry:</description>
