*For particles - you can always go back to lesson #1.

**You can practice and change the words such as bag shop to shoes store - bookstore - or cafe, and many words more. It would be helpful if you have a Jap - Eng dictionary.


So that's all for today, and please *NOTE that since this is just BASIC,
there will be no further or deep explanation made here,
but you can always ask me question. Thank you!
