I was so FRUSTRATED in the beginning
i had 2 tie my hair up just in case i got the urge 2 pull it out,
but as i kept going it was a lot easier. ^_^

In the end i ended up righting it 45 times

These website is very helpful.

You were correct in saying that hiragana wasn't that hard to learn. A good study method that I use is every day, I look on websites such as Amazon.co.jp, Yahoo.co.jp (the Japanese versions of those sites) and look for hiragana that I know. It helps to reinforce what you've already learned, and you feel like you are learning after all. Good luck to all!

Hello,I had the same

Hello,

I had the same problem, windows media player doesn't work for me with these sound files, so what I did was associate the files with Quick Player instead and now they work [download one and right click and choose properties from the drop down menu and then click the change button that's across from 'open with' to change the application]. They don't automatically play and now all my wav sound files are associated with QP, but that's a small issue compared with not being able to hear them at all and it's easy enough to change back :)

how do we hear the words

how do we hear the words that are form by the hiragana

Hearing the sound file.

You should be able to simply click on the Note icon. It is a regular wav file.

i do.....

i can hear it...clearly!~

Sound?

I am not able to hear the sound byte. It says "Windows media player cannot play the file. Does anyone know a way to hear the sound byte?

When I click on the note

When I click on the note icon, I can hear it. Is that where you clicked?
