PSE's Dictionary
Konnichi wa, minna! Watashi no namae wa, Takanera Moshi! Welcome to my handy Japanese Dictionary! Here is a reference guide to the Japanese spoken in PSE and TUC!
Before we continue, let's have a mini-lesson in how to actually SPEAK in Japanese!
Pronunciation
Vowels
A -- Ah (like Father)
E -- Eh
I -- Ee (like StickY)
O -- Oh
U -- Oo
Although Usagi is spelled with a U it's pronounced as if it has two O's.
Sometimes a U is silent! Like Tsukino becomes Skino. Also, Sutaa is Star!
Some Constants
F -- F don't touch the lip when saying
G -- If G begins the word say it like Go
If the G is in the middle of the word say it softly
N -- No, if it's with a vowel, else just Enn
S -- Hard sound like Stop
Now, on to the words!
