did you miss what i'm saying though? as far as i understand there is no such thing as a written version and a typed version. they are just styles of writing.

on your other point i highly discourage anyone from learning romaji. except for the purpose of typing. it is not a good way to stydy Japanese.

And I'll get the dictionary and try the both ways you told me and thank you for everything,cuzz I rlly wanna learn Japanese<3

if you are serious about learning then please go take a beginners course. it will really help. i'm all for self teaching but i think you should get some grounding in a beginners course. you need to hear native pronunciation etc as well.

lol. ok. you got me. I guess I was just too rushed to post something that I couldn't find a complete list that had both the Hiragana and Katakana and Romaji. >.>

Very interesting. I was taught by a non-native teacher at BYU when I took the online class, so she obviously may have been mistaken herself when she learned the various Hiragana. In the college-level Japanese class I will be taking this year, the professor is a native Japanese. I'm sure she'll be fixing a few things that I was taught wrong. <.<

And yeah, good luck! I'm sure that you will be able to go far if you just simply apply yourself, just like anrakushi said!
