100 common Japanese verbs which you should know.

Hi guys!
How's your Japanese going?
When I started to learn English I expanded my vocabulary first before learning grammar.
Because if I learn English grammar but I can't make a sentence without vocabularies. :p
So I listed 100 common Japanese verbs below for beginners.
Expand your vocabulary and make a sentence using them and grammar. :)




And here is a tip.
Some Japanese noun can be used as a verb when it's attached to する(to do).
As for example, 勉強 is a noun meaning studying but 勉強する means to study.
So we say 勉強する 'Do a studying'. Makes sense? :)
