Visual Vocabulary Board


Some of these vocabulary words are taken from languages other than Japanese.  Words from other languages are represented in Katakana.  The Katakana characters are shown here, followed by the Hiragana so you can read the sounds.  If there are characters we haven't learned yet, the Romaji is also included.  Click the image to hear the audio. 

Remember that you must do the activities in the Writing 5 section.  The characters in the Writing 5 section are the special Hiragana characters.
