I joined palabea.net several months ago, and I dug it out of my inbox and started browsing around to try and talk to people in Japanese. I'm still waiting for replies to the threads I've posted, but I found some great videos in the video lecture section of the site.
The lecturer FXDL2007 introduced どれ and どちら (eng: which) in the first video that I watched. The difference between the two is that どちら is used for a choice between two objects whereas どれ is normally used for a choice between more than two objects.
- 私の切符はどれですか。= わたしのきっぷはどれですか。 = which is my ticket?
In his other series he introduced:
どう - how
- お仕事はどうですか = おしごとはどうですか = how was work?
- とても忙しいです = とてもいそがしいです = I'm very busy.
どこ - where
- 車はどこですか。= くるまはどこですか。= where is the car?
- 駐車場です = ちゅうしゃじょうです = it's in the parking lot.
いつ - when
- あなたの誕生日はいつですか。あなたのたんじょうびはいつですか。= when is your birthday?
- 一月一日です。 = いちがつついたちです。＝January 1st.
誰 - だれ - who
- あの男性は誰ですか。= あのだんせいはだれですか。=who is that man?
- 彼は鈴木さんです = かれはすずきさんです = He is Mr. Suzuki.
何 - なん - what
Miscellaneous vocabulary to add to Anki:
誕生日 - たんじょうび birthday
携帯電話 - けいたいでんわ mobile phone
駐車場 - ちゅうしゃじょう parking lot
難しい - むずかしい difficult
お仕事 - おしごと work (polite)
One of the reasons why I like his video series is because he hand-writes the Japanese in live time so I can see how the kanji and kana are written by a native Japanese rather than than the computer-generated stuff which is unnatural as far as handwriting is concerned.
