Reading Romaji Tips!!

So some stuff with romaji might be a little confusing for those who are just looking at it for the first time... 
~so I made this page for those of you who need a few pointers~
I'll try to make it as brief as possible, but I'm not super great at explaining so if something doesn't make sense... owo;;;; sorry. Leave a comment about it and I'll try again ^^;

Vowels
a= "ah" as in father
e= "eh" like egg
i= "ee" like leave
o= "ou" like open
u= "uu" as in... ooh...

Weird  stuff cuz some stuff with the consonants are weird...
Japanese romaji is just pronounced the way it looks. There are some things that it does that might be weird though

- "wo" by itself is pronounced "o" just "o" dats it yo!!
- "zu" and "dzu" have the same pronunciation (zu)
- when you see a word with two of the same consonant by each other, that usually means the vowel before it gets two syllables when sung (or at least that's how I understand it) ex. zutto= zu-u-to
- "oo" gets two syllables too. ex. tooku= to-o-ku
- "ou" is the same as above. ex. kibou= ki-bo-o
- some websites will use "h" instead of "w" with words like "wa" or "wo" its still pronounced the same though!! I'll be using w btw


ok that's all I got!! Happy singing you weeb >uo
