Japanese

<p>
	In Japanese there is no single word for <strong>and</strong>, which can be used to connect nouns, verbs, and sentences together like in English.
	Instead there are a variety of words and conjugations employed for this purpose.
	In this lesson we introduce <strong>そして</strong>, for linking sentences, and <strong>と</strong>, for nouns.
</p>

<p>
	Using both of these words is straightforward. For <strong>そして</strong>, the word is placed at the beginning of the second of two sentences
	you want to connect, while <strong>と</strong> is inserted between two nouns. Check out the sentences below for some examples.
