Need simple Japanese words?

Question

I have a little girl in my preschool class that is Japanese, and she doesn't speak any English at all, so if you could help me out with some easy words like no, yes, good job, that sort of thing. Thanks alot!

Answer 1

I don't know japanese, but try out this site. It's got lessons with phrases phonetically spelled and written in Japanese. Good luck!

Answer 2

Cho - stop
Dojo - school

Would tell you one to ten but don't know correct spellings.

Learn most of this in karate, and never really paid attention to the spellings of them all.

You could do a search for japanese to english translations.

Answer 3

Can you communicate with her parents/caregivers? I would start with them. Go to your local library for languages on tape. Also try your local university for Japanese classes and/or assistance. I hope this works well for you! For written translations of other languages., try www. freetranslation.com (I use it to communicate with a German penpal).

Answer 4

go to an online translator like http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/text.html

set the language change to English to Japanese and type in the words you want to translate

Answer 5

Here are some guides:-
Yes = Hai (pronounce as hike)
No = iie (pronounce as 'E' 'ye')
Good = ii desu (pronounce as 'ee' 'desk')
Number 1 or the best = ichiban (pronounce as 'E' 'Chi' 'Bun')
Please = Dozo (pronounce as 'Do' as in Do Re Me and 'Zo')
What =Nan desu ka (pronounce as non desk ka)
