Thought this may be useful.

As there is already a hiragana + katakana lesson, I thought I'd open a small lesson. Nothing EPIC.
I would update with seven words a week (one per day, three nouns, two verbs, one adverb and one adjective), with how it is pronounced, the meaning of it, and to use it in a word/ sentence.

I am not going to list the different tenses of verbs, again, this is only here to help you.

Hope it will be useful for all you people learning Japanese, just remember, you have a friend in Japan.
(For all you Japanese pros, if you found a mistake, please comment. I am no Japanese professor. XD)

Here it goes:

1. 漫画
noun
meaning: manga, comic
pronounciation: ma n ga

2.
noun
meaning: little sister
pronounciation: i mo u to

3. 日本
noun
meaning: Japan
pronounciation: ni hon
OR ni ppon
OR hi no mo to (old Japanese)

4. 走る
verb
meaning: run
pronounciation: ha si ru

5. 触る
verb
meaning: touch
pronounciation: sa wa ru

6. 速い
adverb
meaning: fast
pronounciation: ha ya i

7. 大きい
adjective
meaning: big
pronounciation: o o ki i

I will raise the level if the words are too easy. Tried to limit the words to really simple words.
