btw, just so you all know
japanese cannot hear and make the sound of 'R'.
they cannot say 'Robert', it comes out 'lobahtoh'
I don't know why in schools and words translated into English alphabet uses 'R' far more than 'L' for Japanese words. But believe me, Japanese is my first language.
The difference between an R and an L took so long for me to recognize, it was the last pronounciation I learned. It took SO LONG to train my tongue. |
but thats why you ROCK!!!!  |
Yeah Taki,
You LOCK! |
*ahem* yea, I LOKKU! |
Yea, you LOKKU real good |
thanks! you're really OHSAMU! _________________

This is what the name "Ben" looks like in Japanese:
"Ben" in Japanese characters
It is pronounced "BEN". (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. "E" sounds like e in met.)  |
if it makes you feel any better, I think it's more like "BENN" _________________

It is pronounced "EIBURU". (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. "I" sounds like ee in meet, but shorter. "U" sounds like oo in hook, but with less rounding of the lips. "E" sounds like e in met.) _________________ Theory without practice is blind,
