http://welearnjapanese.blogspot.com/2007/06/gah-i-had-to-take-little-break-from.html

Friday, June 15, 2007. あいうえお、かきくけこ、さしすーせそ、たちつーてと。。。 Gah, I had to take a little break from the Pimsleur notes, but I promise that you'll see more soon. Though, I don't think anyone has gone past Lesson 13. I recently finished Lesson 30, but I'm not going to advance until I've finished these notes. I'm trusting that writing them out and reviewing them will result in greater memorization and further comprehension. Anyway, I found this: Kana Song. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
