Text:General Hiragana Tutorial
Just a few quick explanations before I get started.
For this tutorial I will only be using 'romaji' which is basically the Latin letter equivalent to the Japanese language. I know there are people who don't have the language pack installed, so I want to keep it fair for them too. However, if you would like me to include both kana (hiragana, katakana, kanji) as well as romaji, just comment on here letting me know, I'll be more than happy to do both if it's wanted.
I cannot do the studying for you. If you desire to learn the language, I'll be more than happy to study /with/ you, but you'll have to do the memorization on your own. Even if

Text: Kore, Sore, Are, Dore
これ、それ、あれ、どれ
Kore, sore, are, dore
You're probably heard at least some of these terms before if you've ever listened/read/over heard/etc any Japanese as these terms are quite common, as as their English meaning is in English. Let's go through them one at a time.
--KORE--
"Kore" means "this" and is used when referring to things that are close to the speaker (and often when they are holding the item or standing very close to it). The particle "wa" always comes after it. (Least as far as I know. I have yet to encounter a case where this isn't so.)

I'd also like to suggest the phrase:
もう いちど いって ください。 (Please say it again.)
