Step 5: Sentence-level typing

Kanji Assignment

Typing methods

1. Include punctuation (e.g., 。　、) and brackets (e.g., 「　」) if necessary. Hit a period ( . ) for （。）and brackets ( [　] ) for ( 「　」 ).
2. To include capital English letters in a Japanese sentence, hold shift while typing.
3. After typing a short clause or sentence, try to hit the space bar to convert into right characters and to hit enter to determine the characters. See step 4 for more details. Because the computer does not always convert into right characters automatically, it would be easier for you to check the conversion and fix the converted characters before a sentence becomes overly long.

Typing practices

I. Type the following sentences. To type English alphabet in (3), choose a half-size font instead of a full-size font by hitting the space bar.

(3)	きのう、新しいCDをもらったんです。
