Japanese

<p>
	In this lesson we will build on the family vocabulary we learned previously so that we can ask questions or talk about our own or someone else's children.
	The Japanese word for <strong>child</strong> or <strong>children</strong> is <strong><ruby>子ko供domo</ruby></strong>.
	However, when referring to the children of someone that is not a familial relation, the polite <strong>お<ruby>子ko</ruby>さん</strong> is used instead.
