katakana : are mostly used for foreign words.
when using katakana, life gets a bit tricky when you hit the
limitations of the japanese language. it has only one final
consonant (n), so when the japanese pronounce English words with
other consonant ending, they have to tack on a vowel, usually a
(u)[b] "Game" becomes *ge mu* or "bed" becomes *beddo*
with no final "r" sound, they usually use a long "a" --- for
example "locker"
becomes *rokka*. And since there is no " i " at all, " r " is used
instead..
someone say if can learn free japanese online!! all the language
school can close shop.. haha
