Hi,
I appreciate your effort on helping ppl learn japanese it wwould be more helpful if you could post downloadable mp3 filefor pronouncing word/letters. without proper understanding of the pronounciation it would be very difficult to learn any language. hoping to see the mp3 soon.
Thanks

Hi Muna,
Try imagine this example. Hon demo ii desu ka? Is a book also fine? For my example above, it is difficult to translate to English but it is something like I would read a book also (direct translation). Of course, without the “demo” is also fine.
Yes, there will be level 6 and above. Sorry for not updating for such a long time as I was extremely busy in doing J-E & E-J translation works.
If you need any help, please let me know. Thanks
