READ THIS FIRST!

Welcome to The Language Lounge!
This is a public blog that has resources for learning languages online with (mostly) free sites, videos, etc. There are entries for many different languages and there are many links and recommendations for self-learners.

The entries below are in no sort of logical order, so I recommend you look to the blog-archive to the right of the page and find a starting point. The first entry for each language is always titled "[Language name] - Start Here"

FIRST! Check the entry titled "Tips and Tricks (For Self-Study)" because this has some "pre-study" tips for you.

SECOND! Read the "All Languages - Must Read" entry because it has really nice resources for any language.

Enjoy!

Japanese - Colors 色 (いろ)

I decided to make a separate post on colors 色(いろ)!☆ 
This should be super short because colors are fairly simple.

Colors (in NOUN form)
Red = 赤(あか)
Orange = オレンジ色(オレンジいろ)
Yellow = 黄色(きいろ)
Green = 緑(みどり) or 緑色(みどりいろ)
Blue = 青(あお)
Purple = 紫(むらさき)
Black = 黒(くろ)
White = 白(しろ)   
Brown = 茶色(ちゃいろ)
Grey = 鼠色(ねずみいろ)
Pink = ピンク

Colors (in ADJECTIVE form)
Usually colors in adjective form are pretty easy.

For RED, BLUE, BLACK, and WHITE just add an い on the end.
Example: I like red = あか が すき です。(あか is a noun)
                  I have a red shirt = あかい シャツ が あります。(あかい is an adjective)

For all other colors, treat the noun form as a の adjective (add a の before the noun)
Example: I like green = みどり が すき です。(みどり is a noun)
                  I have a green shirt = みどりの シャツ が あります。(みどり is an adjective)
                  My shirt is green = わたし の シャツ が みどり です。(みどり is an adjective)

Yellow is kind of special and can be used either way. 黄色 can either take an い or be treated as a の adjective.
