Lesson 1: Basic Vocabulary

In this lesson we'll learn some basic words that are useful when playing RPGs.

The word format will be as so: Kanji, Kana, English, notes. If the word does not have a kanji, it will have two dashes in the place of a kanji. Some of the words may have notes that may not mean much right now but will mean more once you get to some of the later lessons. Here are two example words one with a kanji and one without a kanji:

剣 けん Sword You do not have to learn this word
-- りんご Apple You do not have to learn this word either
