I'm sorry, 「訓迪」?

I agree, you need to learn Hiragana in order to learn Japanese^^ Plus, it's a change, not writing in western letters. I think every learner should learn them at first. But, I also agree with the fact that the decision is up to the 'helper' who sees the thread whether to answer or not.

My bad ... －＿－；；

I'm new to the boards, and I'm looking for a supplemental experience, and hopefully to meet some nice online folks. I've been studying for years, yet my Japanese hasn't progressed much due to no use, or just plain mis-use (i.e. thousands of tattoo, signature, and other stupid translations I'm asked for that could be easily looked up online). I have my hiragana down to a T, and it's the first thing I hammer in to students when I tutor them (I only tutor low level, sorry, I'm not that great). Due to the fact that I could barely read 60% of the kanji posted in this thread before this post, and translate maybe 30% of them in to an English word, I think I'm in need of help.

Long story short, bring on the kana/kanji. (and maybe furigana?)

Welcome! Good to have you in!

Thanks, looking forward to communicating purely in kana/kanji soon.

僕はローマジを使う人がやめないと思っている。There's always going to people who don't have enough commitment to learn Hiragana, thinking that Romaji is enough to fall back on -- when in reality, it's hardly a step towards fluency.

Also.. as a side "question": Why did you use 者 in the title, instead of 人？ Is it more formal or something.. ?

Yes. Though in retrospect, 「方」　would have been better than 「者」. I think it was the end of a long day when I first posted.

There is no way to learn Japanese properly without learning the written language.

ふ　is not FU and is not HU.

ら、り、る、れ、ろ　is not RA, RI, RU, RE, RO

With a little practice, you can SEE the different pronunciation.

Long vowels, small っ , these are all things that must be learned to be spoked and heard.
