? Culture Sample（Lesson1-3）

・Lesson1：The Sound of Japanese

Most syllables in Japanese are made up of one consonant and one vowel.

The Japanese accent comes from the pitch, not strong or weak sounds. Each word has a set accent pattern. Some have a flat pitch; others have a set place where the pitch goes down.

・Lesson2：Japanese Characters

Japanese has three types of characters: Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana. For example, in Japanese "Watashi wa Tamu desu" or "I'm Tam" would be:　私はタムです　"私" is a Kanji, "は" and "です" are Hiragana, and "タム" is a Katakana.

Katakana is used to write names and words from other languages. Hiragana is used for other things. The phonetic letters of Katakana and Hiragana were made from Kanji. Kanji are ideograms used to write out major ideas.

・Lesson3：How to Greet People in Japan

Bowing is customary in Japan when exchanging greetings. Your relationship with the other person determines how deeply you bow. If he or she is older or ranks higher than you in some way, the bow is deep.

If the person is your peer or younger than you, just a nod may be enough.

Handshakes and hugs are not so common.
