About Hitomi
Hitomi, the guide of this site
Hitomi is a character who guides these study notes. She walks through how Japanese works with short, easy examples. She is not a real person, and the site gives her no invented biography or reporting experience.
About this site
A small study site for learners of Japanese, with 300 words, 8 grammar lessons, and short reading conversations. It is available in Japanese and English.
About the audio
Audio is not a recording. It uses the Japanese speech synthesis built into your device and browser, so the sound differs between devices. Nothing plays automatically.
About romaji and translations
Romaji is a reading aid. The particles は, を and へ are written wa, o and e. English translations of example sentences are a learning guide.
