    Day 1: Question Words Today we will learn some basic question words. Try saying these to your friends and watch at how amazed they are at your speaking ability! The format of the vocabulary section will be: the English word in bold, followed by the Japanese pronunciation using the Alphabet in italics, followed by the word using the Japanese writing system, followed by the [kanji] in brackets if one is available. Some words have a kanji but are usually written with only kana. If this is the case, you will see a (UK) next to the word. This means usually kana. Though T've chosen the word usually, some words are never written with kanji, and some words are only sometimes written with kanji. There really are no rules for when to use kanji and when not to, but in general, grammatical words, and words that are used very often, will be written with kana only.
