Today I write about how to say correct Japanese words.

Yesterday I wrote about vowels, today I write about consonants.

In Japanese, consonants are always with a vowel.
The only exception i n, which can be alone.

Consonants combine with vowels.
Consonants are
k,g,s,z,,t,d,n,h,b,p,m,y,r,w,

k is like k in king
g is like g in go
s is like s in sad
z is like z in zoo
t is like t in tea
d is like d in duck
n is like n in night
h is like h in house
b is like b in bar
p is like p in past
m is like m in man
y is like y in yes
r is difficult. In Japanese there is no l sound so we use r for words with l.
Japanese r is between r and l.
But if you say r like r in red, it is ok, Japanese will understand.
w is like w in wash

Sometimes there sound changes, especially if next vowel is i.
We have

si (shi): s and i sound like she
zi (ji): z and i sound like gy in gym
ti (chi): t and i sound like chi in chicken
tu (tsu): t and u sound like tsu in tsunami
di (ji): d and i sound like gy in gym
du (zu): d and u sound like zoo
hu (fu): h and u sound like foo in foot

Sometimes there is a y between a consonant and a vowel.

Kyu sound like queue.

Sometimes sound changes

sy (sh): s and y sound like sh in shine.
ty (ch): t and y sound like ch in cheek.

If a consonat is written twice, you make a pause between saying that letter.
For example kk of bukkyo sound like kc of bookcase.

When n is without vowel it counts as one syllable.

So Kyonkyon is actually four syllables Kyo n kyo n.

Politics

President party elections result do not appear.
This game has many bugs.
It is really bad because many people wait for result but no notice at all.
