Here are some basic lessons with example sentences to get you started. I’ll try to keep everything short and simple. The vocabulary words used will be listed at the top and there will be two versions of most example sentences. One with kanji and one with just kana (hiragana and katakana). If you are past the absolute beginner or beginner stages I would recommend heading over to the vocabulary section and starting there. If you’re starting from zero, check the Zero Experience Beginner’s Guide first.
