hi... did you want some help on how to do it? or an opinion on it?

[learning kempo-karate]

Hello, Most Japanese words are pronounce the way it is spell: example..take the word: DATE how do your pronounce it? Japanese way it is DA-TE (dot -tay.)

KA-TA: two word here also...when performing do it in one word! ........Aloha

[obiwansbane]

its actually dah-teh

Vowels are pronounced as -

a - Ah

e - Eh

i - Ee

o - aoh (hard to describe? a cross between aw and oh)

u - oo

[Shorin Ryuu]

Actually, the o in Japanese is just a long o, like hope.

^^ i hope thats a japanese person, just youtubed it so theres the pronounciation. And i dont say hope with the "O" sound that this person does, maybe you do, and if so i see how you got it. Its all because of accents! everyone should have one accent!

I studied Karate with a Japanese student here at school for a little while about 1 1/2 years ago. I learned Heian Shodan through Godan (though the last two I had just learned). I failed to write them down and now can only remember bits and pieces of them. Is there any source on the web that has these forms charted out?

Thanks,

Ed
