Author's Note: I haven't messed with my Japanese Lessons in a while, and I can't sign on right now to see what they looked like (I'm typing this offline after all) so stick with me even if this looks a little different from my old ones. :) I'm not sure where I left off with my old ones, but this one is going to be colors and mail. Why such a strange combo? Because they're both rather small sections. :) Thanks Megan, if I didn't know I had fans I wouldn't of continued these just yet. Oh, and yes the main character of my book, Flights of Fantasy, Akhy's name is actually said Akai...

And that concludes Japanese Lesson Five. Look for Japanese Lesson Six, Building Sentences!

Sorry about the shortness of my other comment, I was in a rush because we were going to Philadelphia to see the King Tut exhibit, an then I was gone the rest of the week at my uncle's in New Jersey(he doesn't have a computer). So, I waited all week to read it more slowly and try to memorize it. I'm sure when my friend Dawn joins she'll read them too, so you'll have another fan in no time! Great work! Thank you so much! Domo arigato!
Erbarley!

I came across Megan's comment in the approvals and thought I'd check this out. I remember checking out your previous lessons and thinking how cool it was that these words sound so different in different languages. I still have that impression. Like the format, like how you introduce more used words and such first. I do suggest moving all these lessons into book format to keep track of them more easily.
Thank you! It may be a strange combination, but it will still prove to be useful in learning Japanese. Wooh! First hit, first comment, I feel special! Yay! I've been wondering about the colors, so that helps. So, thanks again!
Erbarley!
