I chose this way of learning as I'd rather learn to speak and listen first and then move on to the written language later. It makes a lot of sense to me as you're not bogged down with what something looks like written down, only how it sounds. Doesn't half make me question why some Japanese words are romanised the way they are though; loads of words seem to have a bloody u on the end that isn't even pronounced... and don't even get me started on the use of "ou" where the sound is "oh".</p></blockquote><p></p>
