basics
I'm learning Nihongo (Japanese) and I need to keep looking at the basics over and over for them to stick in my head. I couldn't think of a better place to put these basic translated words, except here.
These are my personal notes. But for those of you who may be interested, you can use this list as a reference too. If you spot anything that's wrong, please leave me a comment at the bottom of this page.
