1. Basic Word Order

The sentence order is very different from English. In English we use Subject-Verb-Object (SVO), but in Japanese it is usually (but not always!) Subject-Object-Verb (SOV).

English :

(S – V – O)
I – eat – bread

Japanese :

(S – O – V)
watashi wa – pan o – tabemasu.

Watashi wa – pan o – tabemasu – download

Notice the “extra” words wa & o. These are called particles (or grammatical markers) and tell us a lot about the function of the word it follows. Don’t worry! We will get to particles soon enough.

  Hi Ramya, I believe not all chapters have audio. You can check every chapter and download the audio if available. I will update you soon if there will be audio added.
  
  Thank you!

Could you make the sound files downloadable please?
I would love to use them in my Anki flash cards.
