Through this Japanese lesson, you will learn to read/write/say time (ji-ka-n じ か ん / 時間) in Japanese language and how to ask anyone for time in Japanese language.

In order to say time in Japanese, we need to combine "O'clock(hour)" and "minutes" to form the Japanese word for a certain time. Also, not forgetting to teach you how to read/write/say seconds in Japanese.

Okay, let's get started!

Let's get started by learning how to read/write/say numbers in Japanese first before we move on deeper to learn on counting things and time in Japanese language.

The Japanese words to read/write/say the numbers 1 to 99 (single digit to double digits) are very standard and clear-cut with no changes at the end of the word. However for numbers 100 to 999 (hundreds), there are 3 different types of Japanese words at the end of the word after the number; namely hyaku, byaku and pyaku.

Confused? Attend this lesson and you will understand what I am taking about.

In this lesson, you will learn how to read/write/say the days of the week and months of a year in Japanese language! In 1 of the Japanese Lessons titled "How To Read/Write/Say Numbers", you should have learnt how to read/write/say numbers in Japanese. For reading/writing/saying month in Japanese language, the word is a combination of "number + month". For example: January is Ichi-gatsu(いち) where Ichi(いち) = 1 and gatsu(がつ) = month.

Year = nen ねん / 年

To read/write/say a certain year, just combine the year number in Japanese with Year (nen ねん / 年). For example: 2008 = nisen hachi nen (にせんはちねん / 二千八年) where nisen hachi(にせんはち / 二千八) = the number 2008 and nen(ねん / 年) is year.

Let's take a look at how we can put the Japanese words that you have learnt in the Japanese Lesson on greeting through the following examples in conversations format.

You can change the names of the person involve in these conversations. You can replace Summer-san, Winter-san and Autumn-san to people's name and to how you address your own family members.

Let's start putting what we learnt so far into practical Japanese in conversations now~
