Thank you, but because it's being written using the English alphabet, like I said, this really does me no good. The point is so that people who don't speak Japanese can still understand how the Japanese words are being said. There are only a few and most are a only one word. This is the only one I am unsure of.

Japanese phonology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You do know that Japanese is very easy for English speakers to pronounce, right? Except that the syllable distinction is tricky.

Example: Japanese カット ("katto" in katakana)

In Japanese, "katto" will be three syllables (ka - t - to)
In English, "katto" will be two syllables (kat - to)

Be very aware of the syllable distinction.
Right, I'm pretty sure I'm saying it correctly I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks anyway, I guess.
