Yes. Though in retrospect, 「方」 would have been better than 「者」. I think it was the end of a long day when I first posted.

There is no way to learn Japanese properly without learning the written language.

ふ is not FU and is not HU.

ら、り、る、れ、ろ is not RA, RI, RU, RE, RO

With a little practice, you can SEE the different pronunciation.

Long vowels, small っ , these are all things that must be learned to be spoked and heard.
