General Pronunciation Tips

Vowels: "a" as in "father", "i" as in "machine", "u" as in "flute", "e" as in "get", "o" as in "go".
"tsu" (つ) is pronounced like the "ts" in "cats".
Double consonants (small っ/ッ) create a short pause before the next consonant.
The "r" sound is a light tap, similar to the "tt" in the American English "butter".
