This is only a small part of the words from this category; basically all of the above Japanese words are studied in the first year of study. Ideally, you should learn to write words not only in hiragana, but also remember how hieroglyphs are written, but in the first year this can be difficult until you understand the memorization system or get a second wind.

When using various methods in learning the Japanese language, do not forget that the main way to learn to speak Japanese, ideally, is to communicate with a native speaker, and if you don’t have one, then constantly read books in Japanese, not difficult at first, use the NHK website, section light news, even in the first year of study you can use this resource to improve your reading and speed.

Below you will find links to articles that teach basic concepts such as time, numbers, days of the week, etc. Good luck in learning the language and see you again.

Polivanov system in the CIS countries

Ukraine

At the moment [ specify

]NANU, according to the Soviet tradition, uses the Polivanov system (also de facto in the Ukrainian Wikipedia and for the translation of Japanese geographical names), but the Hepburn system (also in the Ukrainian variation) is more popular outside the scientific community.[
source not specified 1232 days
] However, not a single one the system is not official in the country and the debate about the ideal official system is hotly debated[37]. This was caused by weak contact between the Ukrainians and the Japanese, so in most cases the Polivanov or Hepburn system was simply copied, depending on the language of the source. At the same time, for the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine the situation is no different from the Russian one. The most famous Ukrainian Japanese scholars who use the Ukrainianized version of Polivanov’s system are: head of the Department of East Asian Languages, Professor Ivan Bondarenko[37] and Myron Fedorishin[38]. Also known is the “mixed system” developed by the Japanese Slavist Hidehiko Nakazawa[39].

Nihongo

Nihongo was developed by Chris Vasselli who previously worked with Box, Subspace, IBM and a Japanese student who did a great job of designing the user interface. They managed to solve the problems associated with the high competition in this area, and now they continue to improve and adapt the application, taking into account user feedback.

The application places an emphasis on using authentic Japanese content, automatically creating word cards for the translations of which you were looking for, and it is possible to add pictures to these cards. Each new word is rated by popularity: common, not common, rare - this will allow you to quickly learn popular words. In addition to the built-in dictionary, which can work without Internet access, there is a function for translating words from photos.

The application is available for iPhone.

Rules of the Polivanov system

Polivanov's system is based on Tokyo pronunciation[6]. When transmitted using the Polivanov system, capital letters are not used; for morphological division (before case particles and between the suffix and the stem), a hyphen can optionally be used[7].

In this table, first there is a hiragana sign, then to the right there is a corresponding katakana sign, both having the same notation in the Polivanov system, and, for reference, the Latin transliteration according to the Hepburn system is given in brackets.
