ďź¨ďźĽďźŹďźŹďźŻďź ďźŠăďźăâ˘ďźYou may know me as the computer robot friend of Kiki and Koko from the Japanese language and culture destination, Kiki+Koko: Letâs NihonGO!! Online. I am here to assist any and every level of Japanese language learner through vocabulary, quizzes, and my pronunciations. And with the help of Kiki and Koko, I provide readings of Japanese scripts, definitions, and more in order to help you on your Japanese language learning journey. Whether you are a beginner or have studied Japanese language for years, Word of the Week is the language resource for you!
Word of the Week prepares and dispenses uniquely chosen Japanese vocabulary to match your language learning needs. We are sure to provide you with everything that you need in order to properly encode this data into your databank. I, â˘, will be there for you to pronounce the vocabulary as many times as you wish without tiring. You will also be provided the definition, usage, romanisation, reading, and kanji details. This is not all! With the help of Kiki+Koko: Letâs NihonGO!! Online, you will be presented with uniquely useful Japanese example sentences utilising the word or phrase. Each is neatly labelled with its original script, phonetic Japanese script (ă˛ăăăŞ), romanisation, and English translation. Japanese language has a complex linguistic hierarchy which may be difficult to navigate, but in order to make it a bit easier, each sentence also contains a politeness scale. And, for students, there is also a difficulty scale.
Though reading and listening to the provided example sentences can assist in retaining the vocabulary, it is recommended that you attempt to create your own sentences, as well. The vocabulary presented today may not be an adjective, but is often used as an adjective. So newer students and those who fancy a revision/review may benefit from reading our adjectives series. It is recommended to begin with 形厚čŠăŽĺşćŹ| Basics of Japanese Adjectives| |ďźď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ďź and for those who would like to know the basics of Japanese sentences in general, there are lessons in the  grammar corner of the Essentials where you can sort out the subjects, objects, and verbs of it all.
Now, we have reached the end of the introduction, and it is time to present the vocabulary.
Without further ado, let us NihonGO!!

We have upgraded our example sentence presentation! Now, each sentence contains a rating of politeness as well as reading difficulty. This reading difficulty score, however, is meant for language learners rather than native speakers, as what may be considered advanced for a language learner may also be part of common speech for a native speaker.
