These lessons are really great, from lesson #1 I could still Remember all the words, I can now even read them while they are written in Japanese! Good bye Romanji characters and welcome Katakana and Hirajana! :grin:

What makes this so helpful is that she uses words using kana from previous lessons to keep the memory active. Using words helps so much more than just presenting letters.

Michael says:

So, what does the kana at the top of your web page say? I read “yougoso”, but what does that mean?

Jessi says:

Michael-san,
The ようこそ (youkoso) at the top of the website means “welcome” :grin:
