Additional info

For additional information, vowel pronunciation for Japanese is quite different from English. For example た (ta) is pronounce as “ta” in tart. While ち(chi) is like “chi” in cheese. ふ (fu) is pronounce as foo in English but softer, sounds more like blowing a candle sound. れ (re) is pronounce as ray in English. Lastly ほ (ho) is pronounce as hoe in English. Most Asian country pronounce vowel exactly the same way like Japanese did, so they don't have problem to learn Japanese pronunciation.

However for particle を and は, it is pronounced as “o” and “wa” instead of “wo” and “ha”. One more thing that forget to mention before, One day is called ichi nichi, two days is futsuka, then mikka, yokka, itsuka, muika, nanoka, youka, kokonoka, and touka for ten days. Weird isn't it, any additional info please give a comment. :)
