Although the lessons I post are in romaji, you guys really need to be working on hiragana. If you have a serious interest in Japanese, you need to be reading and writing hiragana for practice. Since most of the Japanese you find online is full-kanji, I've written up some practice sentences in entirely hiragana for you.
Read the statements and answer the questions.
わたしはらいしゅうのどようびにえいがをみにいきます。そして、らいしゅうのにちようびのよるにともだちとばんごはんをたべにいきます。
わたしはごはんがすきです。 でも、 さかながすきじゃありません。 いちばんすきなくだものがりんごです。
たなかさんはさかながだいすきです。そして、 おかあさんもさかながすきです。
わたしはだいがくせいです。 いちねんせいです。まいあさにしちじにおきます。だいがくにバスでいきます。
らいしゅうのきんようびにあなたとおちゃをのみにいきませんか?
Now tell me...
What am I doing next Saturday?
When am I going to dinner with my friend?
What food do I like? What food do I not like?
How does Mr. Tanaka feel about fish? Does his mother agree?
What time do I wake up every morning?
How do I get to school?
What did I invite you to do? When?
Hopefully, most of you should be able to get through these questions. If you spot any typos, be sure to let me know; I've drank a wine cooler right before I made this, so there may be a slip-up or two (I'm above the drinking age in my country, so don't try that at home, kids.).
がんばって!
