    4122\f0\b \cf2 Q. What are romanization systems? 
    4223\f1\b0 \cf0 \ 
    43 AThere are several methods of romanizing Japanese. The three main ones are Hepburn, Kunreisiki and Nihonsiki.\ 
    44 \ 
    45 The official system is Kunreisiki. Another, Hepburn, was designed to romanize according to pronouciation, rather than a fixed table. Nihonsiki is similar to Kunreisiki.\

     24A.There are several methods of romanizing Japanese - that is, turning the Japanese into roman characters. The three main ones are Hepburn, Kunreisiki and Nihonsiki. \

    4832\f0\b \cf2 Q. What is hiragana? And what about this katakana thing? 
    4933\f1\b0 \cf0 \ 
    50 A. Hiragana and katakana are two alphabets of sorts in Japanese, the third then being kanji. Hiragana and katakana are much more like our alphabet than kanji is though, as there are about 70 unique characters - there are several thousand kanji.\ 
     34A. Hiragana and katakana, or collectively  
     35\f2\i kana 
     36\f1\i0 , are two of the writing systems in Japanese, the third then being kanji. Kana are much more like our alphabet than kanji is though, as there are only about 70 unique characters - there are several thousand kanji.\ 
    5137\ 
    52 Hiragana is the first thing a Japanese learns in school, and every word can be written using them. It would look odd to a Japanese, without all the kanji, but they'd figure it out. Katakana is similar to hiragana but looks different. It is used instead of the latter, when writing foreign words, or for extra emphasis.\

     39\cf0 Kana is the first thing a Japanese learns in school, and every word can be written using them. However, normally a mix of hiragana and kanji is used. Katakana is similar to hiragana but looks different. It is used instead of the latter, when writing foreign words, or for extra emphasis.\

    5544\f0\b \cf2 Q. Nuku tells me that 'zu' is incorrect and that 'zu' was the correct answer, what's up with that? 
    5645\f1\b0 \cf0 \ 
    57 A. Take a look at the buttons of Nuku, while using either Hepburn or Kunreisiki. Notice how two buttons have the same title? In fact, it's two different characters, with the same sound and romanization. Confusing? Yep. Hard to implement? You bet.\

    59 There is no perfect solution to this, other than knowing this fact yourself when you click around. Oh, and Nihonsiki does not have this problem either.\ 
     48There is no perfect solution to this, other than switching to the Nihonsiki romanization system.\
