I'm looking for some sentences in hiragana alone that will help me practise both speech and writing.

Thanks in advance :)

Write out some place you plan on going, or somewhere you went.

so,

kyou/ashita/kinou ha ____ ni/e ikimasu/ikimashita/etc.


today/tomorrow/yesterday I will go/went to wherever.

wish I could actually write hiragana and kanji in this but it's being a bitch, the most I could do is katakana.

if you don't know this sentence pattern, the particle ni/e relates the distance traveled. Ni being for nearby places, e being for far away places.

Also, the kanji for ashita, kyou, kinou and the i in iku are really great for beginners to learn. they're simple and you see them a lot.

kyou for example is the kanji for sun or day (the kon in konnichi ha) and the kanji for now. (ima) it literally means now day.

Also this sentence pattern gives you some incentive to learn the names for the types of places you'll go.

OP, have you learnt 'plain form' yet?

E.g. iku vs ikimasu?

If you have, try seeing how much you can write in the plain form, or try sentances that use both.

E.g. Eiga (w)o eigakan mi ni iku no wa totemo tanoshii desu. Or something like that.

Damnit, my Jap is getting rusty.

Nope, never heard of plain form...Care to explain?

the sentence he posted: (edited for correctness)

Eigakan de eiga mi ni iku ha totemo tanoshii desu

The movie at the movie theater (I) will go and see is very fun.

the emphasis on this sentence being the mi ni iku part,

using the plain forms of the verbs (the root) you can conjunct verbs in a sentence.

mi coming from miru; to see.
iku being to go

thus, mi ni iku becomes go and see. (see and go)

To do this, drop the ru/ku/u(root suffix) of the first verb add ni as the particle then use the root of the next verb.

oyo ni iku, tabe ni iku, no ni iku etc.




While my japanese shouldn't be that rusty, I maybe incorrect on some of the technicalities, if anyone knows of my errors please point them out. Haven't taken a japanese class in a year now, so I'm bound to blunder.

Ah, I pretty much get that now, thanks.

ee! nihongo mo suru koto ga chyotto dekiru yo...
where did you other japanese doers come from! :O this is exciting
