Today, I am talking about Japanese history.  But, I am neither a historian nor professor, so I share what I have learned from my history classes with you.  According to them, Japanese people already had a culture 16,500 years ago.  They used stone knives and created decorated vases.

Today, you will learn “ こんにちは: Kon – ni -chi – wa.”  The meaning is “Hello.”   I believe many people know this word if they are interested in Japan.
