I'm pretty sure the 'tsu' in that is silent, just a marker to show the 'se' sound is elongated, so it's "sekusu". Other than that I think Jambo is correct in meaning

Here's a good clip with subtitles to give you an idea of the character.

YouTube - Hard Gay Ramen (With English Subtitles)

Okay, I think I get it now.
He acts like he is gay, but not really.


Oh, I watched the video. IT is kind of funny!!

Hi, does any one know a good way on how to memorise how to read
japanese? Like English grammer rules.

[Cayla]

Hey, I haven't been able to get on japan forum lately. I just
wanted to say Knowing the japanese alphabet makes japanese a lot easyer.

[Cayla]

Oh!!! And yesterday was my last day of school.

The japanese alphabet...
do you call the same letter as what that letter says,
or is there two different ways? like you say A by it self, but say a when
its with another letter.

The kana (hiragana and katakana) wouldn't be considered alphabets as such. I think they are more a list of phonetic syllables used in Japanese writing. Apart from the vowels there are only two "letters" that use the same symbol. N and M use the same symbol ん. All other characters in hiragana, for example, use two or three roman letters to describe them. I hope I didn't complicate things for you!

I guess you can say Ma, Me, Mi, Mo, Mu, Ra, Re, Ri, Ro, Ru, etc.
