[codeninja42]

My name is Gerrit

I come from south africa so its a rather odd name. And i have no clue how to spell it. If you could write it in romanji or katakana it would be a ppreaciated.

oh and hello, this is my first post

thanks! I think my kist of katakana and Hiragana might be incomplete

hi Harisenbon, I'm a bit of a newb at this but does the tsu not come before the double r?

I'm asking because my name also features a double consonant and I want to be sure

[Gakusha]

I think the -t is meant to be doubled, not the -r, and yes, the -tsu comes before the consonant to be stressed.

[Harisenbon]

Oh yeah, you're right.. my romaji was screwed up.

stupid romaji.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!
