The notation for these beats is visual, so it avoids language differences.

You play from top to bottom, one side is the left hand, the other the right hand.

The major beat (three or four beats to the bar, usually) is on the left hand side. If there is a minor beat it's on the right.

There's examples opposite, rhythms will be added as I learn them.
