Article: The Japanese language uses four writing systems. In order to learn Japanese, you will need to study each of them. You can visit https://www.tofugu.com/japanese to view each writing system and take beginning lessons to learn each one. Hiragana is the Japanese alphabet. It consists of 51 phonetic characters. Each character stands for one sound. Begin by studying and memorizing these characters. Once you understand Hiragana, you will know how to pronounce any word in Japanese. Katakana is a series of characters used to stand for non-Japanese words (such as fast food or California). It is a good idea to learn the Katakana phrases for words you commonly use. Kanji are actually Chinese symbols that are used to stand for words and phrases in Japanese. Whereas Hiragana symbols are more like "letters" (depicting simple sounds), Kanji symbols depict complete words. Romaji is a system of using English letters to spell Japanese words. A little Romaji will be helpful at first (especially for learning initial key phrases) but if you rely too much on on it, you are unlikely to move on to a real understanding of the language. Instead, focus mostly on Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. There are 46 sounds in the Japanese language. These sounds are composed of one of five vowel sounds, by a vowel-consonant combination. (There is only one exception, which is a sound composed of only a consonant). You can begin studying pronunciation by learning how to pronounce each character in hiragana and katakana. Visit http://www.forvo.com/languages/ja/ to take beginning lessons in Japanese pronunciation. Knowing some key phrases will allow you to begin practicing. Although Romaji should not be heavily relied upon, using Romaji to learn these basic phrases is OK for beginners. Hello - Kon'nichiwa Nice to meet you - Hajime mash'te Goodbye - Sayonara I'm fine, thanks - Watashiwa genki desu. Arigato. Thank you very much - Domo arigato gozaimasu Please (asking for something) - Kudasai Please (offering something) - Dozo Do you understand? Wakarimasuka Japanese grammar is very different from grammar in English, so try not to apply English rules of grammar to your Japanese study. Learning Japanese grammar will take some time to get used to. Purchase a Japanese grammar workbook and begin following the lessons. Some examples include "Practice Makes Perfect: Basic Japanese" and "A Guide to Japanese Grammar" by Tae Kim. Or locate free online resources (such as Duolingo) to study Japanese grammar. Here are some basic tips: Nouns do not have gender. Also, most nouns don't have separate plural forms. In Japanese, the subject is optional and may be omitted. The predicate is always at the end of the sentence. Verbs do not change according to the subject (he/she/it). They also don't change according to number (singular/plural, like I/we or he/they). Personal pronouns (such as I or you) differ according to the level of formality of a given situation.

Problem: Article: You can reinforce your toddler's schedule by creating a poster or image of the schedule and placing it in their room. This way, your child can look at the schedule every day and know exactly what the plan is. You can also refer to the schedule throughout the day to remind your toddler what they should expect. You may also include photographs of your toddler doing each action, such as a photo of your child at play time or a photo of your child eating at the dinner table. This can serve as visual reinforcement of the schedule. Use a clothespin or other marker to note which part of the schedule you are on, moving the marker throughout the day. This can help ease transitions and let your child know that to expect. A poster of the schedule can also be useful if you have more than one child in your household. Your children may be on different schedules, depending on their ages and needs. Having posters of each schedule, with visual images of each child, can help make it easier for your children to follow their own individual schedules. Though it is important that you maintain a set schedule for your toddler, you should not be too rigid or set about the schedule. You want your toddler to learn consistency and stability but you also want to be sure they can be adaptable in the event of a change. You may introduce small changes to their schedule, like swapping out late morning reading time for a walk outside or having lunch picnic style outside on a nice day. Including small changes can keep your toddler's days fun and interesting. You should still maintain a few non-negotiables in the routine so there is still a level of consistency. You may maintain the same wake up times, eating times, and bedtimes, but vary the activities between these times. Observe how your child adjusts to the schedule and make changes if necessary. For instance, if your child seems sleepy during lunchtime, you may need to move their lunchtime up so they can take an earlier nap. You should also try to vary up who does what for your toddler throughout the day. Adding variety in terms of who does what role in your toddler's schedule will ensure they do not become too dependent on one person. Maybe alternate nights where your partner or a family member puts your toddler to bed so they do not too dependent on you always being there at bedtime. You may also change up who serves your toddler lunch so other family members are involved in their routine. You may also have a babysitter come by a few times a week to give your toddler dinner and put them to bed so they get used to having people outside the family involved in their routine. You should make sure your toddler's schedule includes enough time for them to have fun, explore, learn, and engage with you on an intimate level. You should also make sure your toddler feels they are benefitting from the schedule in tangible ways. Use the routines in their schedule as incentives so your toddler is more interested in the schedule and follows it willingly. For example, you may make sure there is enough one on one time with your toddler throughout their daily routine so they feel they are benefitting from the schedule. You may also include some of their favorite activities in the play time slots of the schedule so they are excited for their routine.
Summary: Create a poster of the schedule. Be flexible when needed. Add variety to the schedule. Include incentives for your toddler to follow the schedule.

Grab some fresh fruit, like a couple of oranges or a lemon. Peel the oranges or cut the lemon in two. Fill a bowl with 1 or 2 cups (237 or 473 ml) of water. Add the orange peels or lemon halves. Microwave for four minutes (or less, if needed, to avoid burning any fruit breaking the water's surface). Let it sit anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours with the door kept shut. This is definitely advised if you used nail polish remover. Citrus should eliminate any lingering smell from that. Open a new box of baking soda or simply place an old one inside your microwave. Let it sit for 12 hours so it can absorb any smells that still linger. Alternately, dump fresh or used coffee grounds into a cup or bowl and use that instead. Either practice is a good preventative measure to keep slight odors from growing stronger between uses. Ideally, give the inside of your microwave a quick wipe down with paper towels and a mixture one part water and two parts vinegar after every use. If that isn't possible, keep the door open after each use to air it out. Then give it a thorough cleaning at least once or twice a month. Any spills or other large messes should be cleaned immediately. If you don't, these will cook and recook and stink up your microwave with each subsequent use.
