Hello! Today we start lesson 3! Thanks for all those nice comments! I might change the layout again. Anyway, Enjoy the lesson!

Another useful part in language is direction. You need to give or at least understand directions when it comes to being in a place you don't know. Say you ask where the washroom is and they tell you to go nishi. ??

~LESSON 3~

-Directions

So here's some helpful words that can help you...

- ue (eww - eh) ~ Up / Over
    - shita (she - tah) ~ Down / Under
-soto (soe - toe) ~ Out / Outside
    - naka (nah - ka) ~ In
-o toutte (oh toe - ot - teh) ~ Through
    - shuui *ni* (shoe - eww - ee *knee*) ~ Around *this word will be accompanies by other as you will never see it without 'ni' dont double 'ni' it*
    - mae (maa - eh) ~ In Front Of
-ushiro (eww - she - row) ~ Behind
    - aida (ah - ee - dah) ~ In Between
-hidari (he - dah - ree) ~ Left
     -migi (me - gui) ~ Right
-kita (key - tah) ~ North
     -higashi (he - gah - she) ~ East
-minami (me - nah - me) ~ South
     -nishi (knee - shi) ~ West

Most of these you will want to make a sentence with so please use the following syntax:

object no _direction_ de/ni object (remember the no double ni ^^*)

EX: Neko no naka de hako desu - The cat is in the box (neko - cat, hako - box)

NE? ok Gambatte!!
