As we build the number of characters learned we will increase the vocabulary as well
Later we will see that sometimes this character is used to make characters longer in pronunciation - keep that in mind, but don't worry, be happy |

Hmm
I feel kinda slow. Some of the sounds sound the same to me and I can't really pronounce them correctly. :S
Which ones? Perhaps we can
Which ones? Perhaps we can offer some advice. :)

Tsu and Su still get me at
Tsu and Su still get me at times. ^^;
す su and つ tsu
the difference between "つ" (tsu) and "す" (su) is the "t/z" sound. す is pronounced sue (literally) while there is a slight hiss/z/t sound at the beginning in つ. When you say つ generally say "ssu" or "zu"
I think. you might want to get this checked out by a native speaker. I'm not, I just started learning about a week ago. I've only just mastered the hiragana alphabet
try listening to this: http://japanese-lesson.com/characters/hiragana/hiragana_drill/hiragana04... and http://japanese-lesson.com/characters/hiragana/hiragana_drill/hiragana03.... Click on the appropriate characters to listen to the sound. :D do the drills. its helps. However, the audio quality isn't so great at times, so you probably would want to refer back to this site as confirmation. If you want to get the hang of it quickly, everytime you see the romanji write out the correct hiragana and sound it out as well. You'll pick it up quickly. Keep doing it until you can write, read/recongize and say all hiragana. Do the drills on this site too! Try to pronounce each hiragana character as it comes up on the drill. 20-30 minutes or less a day should do the trick!
(remove the "..." at the end of both links in the url bar to make them work)
and if all else fails, you can always search youtube for how-to-pronounciation guides. There are videos showing you how to shape your mouth in order to pronounce the characters properly.
Kana?
Do kana and hiragana mean the same thing?

Necessity is the mother of ingenuity, right? In Greek mythology Ananke is the primeval god of necessity and with her mate Kronos , primeval god of time, they split the egg that contained the world. So in theory ingenuity = the world :D

'Speak' or 'Say'?
Argh! Why can’t everything match up! The wonder and frustrations of language I suppose! My text books is claiming that いう is ‘speak’ and TJP and my dictionary 居う [I used JWPce software to convert to Kanji], claim it’s ‘to say’ or ‘say’ respectively. I’m happy to go with TJP and the dictionary, but how much does the slight difference matter? Is it just a matter of preference or tense? Is the more formal ‘speak’ used just to be on the safe side? Bear in mind I’m lousy at grammar so make explanations easy to follow ;-)
