Sorry, but if you knew basic Japanese, you wouldn't be calling yourself -chan.

I would like to learn Japanese very much but is it possible to do so through text form, I was under the impression that pronounciation is vital to the language, or am I mistaken?

That's true, but i think we could use some pronunciation symbols or

word/syllable keys, like for example, the "Sa" from Sakura is pronounced like

the first syllable of the word sarcastic.

If you're going to teach Japanese to people, you should let them know that you don't actually know Japanese.

Sakura does not sound like Sum.

unless you have a really thick tagalog accent, then ya, "sum" sounds like "sam".

but "sum" is usually pronounced "suhm".
