But, unlike some cultures, we have three types of writing. Kanji, hiragana, and katakana. 
犬       いぬ      イト
From left to right, is kanji, hiragana, and katakana. They all say the same thing: dog. With Japanese language, you tend to pronounce the syllables harder. Dog (inu) is not pronounced ee-nu. It’s more harsher, like I-nu. ]]> 2019-02-26 20:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/washidamia/3sdiufb30w4c/wish/335625515 washidamia https://padlet.com/washidamia/3sdiufb30w4c/wish/335626639 Japanese music is mostly J-pop, but during the festivities, it’s more formal and traditional.
