Um, shouldn't it be 'chi' instead of 'ti' and 'fu' instead of 'hu'?
(likewise, 'di' should be 'ji' or something, I think?)
I have no idea but I heard from somewhere it's like this?

What's the most commonly used type of Japanese writing?

I'm trying to learn Japanese so when my "Japorean" (Japanese and Korean) friend speaks Japanese to confuse us I won't be confused.
Just wondering, how do you pronounce the "owe" and "tsu" sounds?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"o" is pronounced like the english "o" but shorter. "tsu" is like saying sue really short and adding a touch of a "t" sound before it ---> "t-sue" really fast, not a hard t though

I know this might sound stupid but after the vowels you start showing k's,m;s etc with with ka,ki,ku etc. what are those? jw
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Those are the rest of the letters. They go in a certain order, like the English alphabet. Everything in Japanese is phonetic, so it's sound based/syllable based.

Phonetic is spelling a word how it sounds.

I have a question. When it shows the vowels, for 'O', the pronunciation says 'owe'. Does that mean like 'oh' or 'oh-ee'? I'd assume that it would sound like 'oh', but I just want to make sure.

how is it going with learning japanese?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very good, actually. I shifted my goals a bit, though I'm still learning Japanese. I just learned basics of conversation, however. Nothing to brag about. With these two exchange students from Russia and Germany, Nikolai and Diedrick, I've been focused on those languages.

Oh, do you know anyone I could language exchange? I speak English and I want to learn Japanese. Any friends you have that speak Japanese?

oh, yoi. but thanks

I love this *Q*
I just want to correct something : in Japanese there isn't a "hu" sound but "fu". The "fu" character also means "fuuton" as for wind :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm well aware. Same goes for r's. It's that odd combo of r and l. Pronunciation is left to the individual in these. My professor always wrote in "hu" though.
