きょうはすしをたべますか。
いいえ、チキンをたべます。




Correct.
My bad, it was meant to say 'hello' at the start but i typed in the wrong character!
こんにちは
This is the problem when typing via an English keyboard. I need to get a japanese one i think.

I'm trying not to use the romanji but just for this example if i type:
konnichiha as normal it comes out like: こんいちは
It seems to discount the second 'n' and just puts in the Hiragana for 'i' instead of 'ni'
However if i type kon(space bar)nichiha it comes out correctly: こんにちは


Clearly i need to get away from doing it this way as it's prone to errors.

I think i'll stop using the PC to type up what i'm learning. I'll just write them down myself the same way i'm doing with learning the symbols.
