Japanese Lesson 1 part 2

In this part of the lesson we went over the different alphabets for lack of a better term, of Japanese.
Hiragana:

• Used as the "alphabet" of the "Alphabet" (ie. Kanji)
• sounding out and understanding the more difficult Kanji
• Words without Kanji
• Suffixes
• Particles
• Verb and Adjective inflections

Katakana

• Has the same sounds as Hiragana
• Used for foreign words 
• Scientific words
• Onomatopoeia
• Emphasis (italics)
• Food often

Kanji

• Chinese characters repurposed for Japanese
• Make up the bulk of the language vocab (needing 2000+ to read Japanese)
• Each character has multiple pronunciations
• Can be Noun, Adjective or Verb

I didn't really have any trouble with the Chapter and the way this is written just sweeps me along for the ride so I don't really notice that I'm working hard. I think its going to take some work to get them straight in my head for their purposes but they aren't that difficult, honestly I'll just quiz myself for a while and keep writing it down so I get the correlations correct. So all in all not really having a hard with this at all so far and being fairly entertained. If only my other classes were as entertaining and snarky as this I'd be happy.
