    I am definitely game for that. It would be good if you start a thread for JLPT N5 and post it all in it for everyone's reference. Thanks for being so enthusiastic about this.

    Hai alpa san,

    Konnichiwa,

    genki desu.

    alpa-san no kuni wa ii tenki de, chipsu mo oishi desune.

    watashino kuni wa ii tenki dewa arimasen. koko wa sukoshii atsui desu.

    I have some doubt,    [​IMG] can u clear me :

    (1) nairobi in katakana also nairobi (not) nailobi, in japanese dont have "l/lo" sound/pronunciation/letter.

    (2) samukatta desu or samukatta de****a - ~katta is past tense, so i thought de****a.

    (3) ino wa nan desu ka? you mean ima/kino/kyou

    arigatou gozaimasu.

    sabitha :thumbsup

    Konnichiwa Gaya3 san.
    O genki desuka.

    Good to know you are speeding up your preparations dear. I too need to to catch up with Alpa san and Sabita san :D. When I read, I get it all, but when I have to reply I am actually lost for words :D..So posting the simplest sentences possible..lol

    BTW What Alpa said is right - Plural for Tomodachi in Japanese is Tomodachi.
    Why? Cos there are no plurals in the language.
    1 book = hon
    10 books = hon
    Also no gender. There is no - HE did this, SHE went there. Its always: (the person) did this/went there.
    You can read more here: Introductory Japanese Lessons
    Lesson 2 explains about the above.

    Hope that helped.

    PS. Kampai is used in place of Cheers - like a toast while drinking :D
    Try using Ganbatte - Come on!!! (as in do well) :)

    Konnichiwa mina-san.
    Watashi mo Indo no tenki was suki dewa arimasen.
    Demo Igirisu no tenki mo amari suki dewa arimasen.
    Koko wa ima tottemo samui desu. Itsumo kumotte aru.

    lol...I was hoping to convey:
    Hello all.
    I too do not like the weather in India.
    But I hate the weather in England.
    Its very cold. Its always dull/cloudy.

    And thanks for those corrections girls. I always get confused about the desu and de-shi-ta.
    Will have to revise that too today.
