Thanks for all the replies guys.

I'm picking Japanese up faster than i expected to be honest given my poor history in language learning. I guess it's because i'm very serious about it.

I just spent 10 minutes looking at a chart or of all the Japanese characters in Hiragana and Katakana. Initially it looks like a nightmare to memorise but when you have a look there is a huge pattern to the continuinity of all the symbols when it comes to the 3 letter symbols like kyu etc.



1 question with regards to this though:

The symbol for 'ki' is キ and the symbol for 'yu' is ユ
Likewise for the rest, 'shi' シ and 'ｙu' ユ and so on (the pattern)

Is this how the 3 letter symbols are pronounced?
So 'キュ' would be pronounced ki-yu and 'シュ' would be pronounced shi-yu?

Or are they pronounced how they are written? So simply 'kyu' and 'shu'
