This is an experiment to see if google will perform optical character recognition on the file.  They are written in Japanese.  I hope to be able to recover an html version after google indexes them.

OCR and support for Japanese OCR

• Online Japanese OCR Tool
  
• Tesseract OCR readme
  
• Tesseract-ocr training data for Japanese
  
• OCRopus
  
• Article about scanning an entire book
  

HP abandoned the code for Tesseract and later donated it to a University who then invited Google to partake.   It is probably the way to go to do OCR on Japanese.  No installer for Windows so most likely easiest on a linux box

心   heart     肺  lung

Notice character for lung has same first component as leg series below. How fast you can leg it is highly dependent on how much lung you have.

头   head         耳 ear      鼻  nose       鼻孔  nostril       眼   eye                                       孔 orifice       眼镜  glasses – eye mirror 

Note how nostril uses the "sub" character as a component of the second character.  孔  orifice. 

臂  arm     肘  elbow   腕  wrist   手  hand   指   finger      拇 thumb  掌    palm                                                      手机  Cellular Phone = hand machine

Emails have some very common parameters and thus studying the chinese used in them has some advantage.

周 -week

日  – Day   

星期一    Monday – Star Period One

周二   Tuesday  – Week two  … meaning day of the week number 2.  Translator gives 星期二

星期三    Wednesday – Star Period Three  …. using the email format this would be 周三    Communists are atheists because they want you to worship THEM.  If you are a libertarian atheist you would not get your knickers in a snare by calling it "Star Period One"….. notice any similarities of communists with the left in the United States?  Imagine hearing a liberal saying it is God Day #2 for Tuesday.

星期四  Star Period Four

星期五   Friday -  Star Period Five

星期六   Saturday -  Star Period Six

星期日  Sunday – Star Period Day

And thus falling out of the above the words for numbers:

Arroto is the portuguese word for burp.  It is pronounce more or less like A HOOT.  This explains the phrase " I do not give a hoot " ….you are saying " I do not give a burp ".  Which in some societies is given as an aprobation of a meal.

A great way to learn a language.  The subject is limited and a visual acompanies the speech.

I want to be able to read Japanese and Chinese.  To that end I am taking a few notes here on the subject.

Have a native speaker translate the following into their language:

• The apple is red
• It is John’s apple
• I give John the apple
• We want to give him the apple
• He gives it to John
• She gives it to him

Translate into past present and future tense in the target language.  It allows you to deconstruct the target language grammar.

The latin sentence structure of the phrase "Eu te adoro" is very similar to if you used thee in english in front of adore. I thee adore.  Thus a structure in a latin language is laid more bare to see for the english speaker.
