[Beki]

thank you! thats really helped me understand.. i think i'll just stick to verbally speaking the language :| eek! haahaa...

urr.. what i meant was how come Genki desu can be written like that aswell as 元気です。 Is it acceptable to write it with the English letters? Would the Japanese be able to read it like that aswell?

Thank you for your help once again! xx
