well... technically, with the alphabet, the equivalents would be...\na: 아\nm: ㅁ\np: ㅍ\n\nhowever!!!  when spelling in the korean alphabet, it works by syllable clusters, not individual letters.  because of this, they don't use initials.

there is no program to do it, and there's no easy way.\nmethod 1) ask a person who reads japanese\nmethod 2) figure out what characters are in the picture and use an online translator like world.altavista.com or other site

What you are looking for is called the "Phonetic Alphabet".\n\nSee below for a few examples.

♡Modern Japanese uses three main "scripts":♡\nKanji, characters of Chinese origin,\n☆ There are several ten thousands of characters, at least 50,000of which 2000 to 3000 are required to understand newspapers. A set of 1945 characters has been officially declared as the "kanji for everyday use". \nhttp://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2046.html\nHiragana, a syllabary, and \nKatakana, a syllabary. \n☆Hiragana and katakana each consist of 46 signs which originally were kanji but were strongly simplified over the centuries. When looking at a Japanese text, one can clearly distinguish the two kinds of signs: the complicated kanji and the simpler kana signs.\nhttp://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2047.html\n☆It is also possible to write Japanese in Roman letters. In Japanese, this is called rōmaji. The Japanese rarely use this system to write their own language, except for abbreviations (often of a technical nature) where it is becoming increasingly common (e.g., CD and DVD).\nHope this helps! (*^o^*)I live in Japan and after nine years I am still trying to learn all the kanji characters I can.♡

Right now I am currently living in japan. The Japanese are so nice and there is so much to see! Anyway here are some tips that can help you in saying japanese words and phrases. and i suggest you find this book because it has helped me and my husband so much with the language. the book is called "Japanese The Rough Guide Dictionary and Phrasebook" The great thing about this book is it shows you how to pronounce the words, just not the Japanese characters.\n\nPronouncation:\na as in rAther\ne as in bEd; e is always pronounced even at the end of a word\ni  like the EE in fEEt, but slightly shorter\no as in nOt\nu as in pUt\nae seprate A followed by E, pronounced AH-EH\nai as in thai (thAI)\nei as in weight (wEIght)\nie seprate EE followed by E, pronounced EE-EH\nue seprate U followed by E, Pronounced OO-EH\ng hard G as in Girl\ns always as in maSS (never Z)\ny as in Yet\n\nalso the ing in japanese is pronounced more strongly that in english\n\nHere are some useful words you might want to know.\n\nbowl: chawan\nchopsticks: hashi\ndessert: dezato\nketchup: kechapp\nfried chicken (not breaded) : kroggy\nrice: gohan AND rais\ncheesebuger: chizbaga\nfrench fries: potetofrai\nwater: mizu\nCoke: cora or Cola\n\nyes: hai\nno: ie\nok: oke\nHello: konnichiwa\nhello (on phone): moshi moshi\ngood morning: ohayo gozaimas\ngood evening: komban wa\ngood night : osaki ni\ngoodbye : sayonara\nsee you later: ja, mata\nplease: onegai shimas\nthank you: arigato\ni dont understand: wakarimasen\ndo you speak english: eigo o hanasemas ka\ni dont speak japanese: nihongo wa hanasemasen\n\nI also suggest when you get to japan go eat at the curry house Coco Ichibanya that stuff is addictive, I just started eating it and I want it ever night almost! I suggest stick to the regular spice, because by the time you get in the middle of it you are going to drink the entire pitcher of water.\n\nAlso over here they drive on the other side of the road and they bow to say hello, i'm sorry and goodbye. the deeper the bow the more respect. \n\nOH!!! DO NOT PUT YOUR CHOPSTICKS STANDING UP THE BOWL OF RICE! Huge No-No! The Japanese do that out of mourning and don't use your chopsticks as tools to eat, like draging a bowl of shushi closer to you. also don't be afraid to pick up the bowl with both hands and eat to shovel it in. If you go into a Japanese home, take your shoes off inside and step right up onto the next step.\n\nHere are some websites i found that might help\nhttp://www.japan-guide.com/e/e638.html\nhttp://www.japaneselifestyle.com.au/culture/culture.html\nhttp://www.japan-guide.com/e/e622.html\nhttp://www.geocities.com/japanfaq/FAQ-Manners.html (Very good site)\nhttp://www.japan-zone.com/new/etiquette.shtml\n\nAnyway I hope that was a lot of help, if you want to do some more searching on your own i would suggest searching yahoo with "Japanese Etiquette"\n\nYou are going to love Japan, I have only been over here since April and I love it. I can't wait to get out more and see Japan. Oh some places I would suggest going to around Tokyo is Kamakura, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, Roppongi Hills - Mori Tower, and The Tokyo Tower. \n\nHope you enjoy your trip!

Baka. That's how you write the Japanese word for "dummy" in English letters.

As the others say....x horizontal and y vertical. Try to remember the order from the alphabet. It may help you remember.

Japanese has three writing systems - Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji.

Japan had no writing system of their own until Buddhist monks introduced them to Chinese kanji around the 6th century. They started borrowing the Chinese characters and slowly adapted the meanings and pronunciations to fit the Japanese language. That's why they have kun-yumi (Japanese readings) and on-yumi (Chinese readings). I believe only men were taught kanji at first, since they believed it was too complicated for women to learn. It was considered very masculine.\n\nHiragana evolved from kanji, as kind of a cursive shorthand that was considered ok for women to use. (The first Japanese novels were written in hiragana, by court women.) Men rarely used hiragana because they said it was a woman's style. They were mainly used for writing particles and words that had no kanji representation along with the kanji. And as you know, it's now used for native Japanese words as well.\n\nKatakana is basically an even more shorthand version of hiragana. Since it's not curvy, it's very easy to write quickly. I think scholars developed it for that reason. Now it's mainly used to emphasize certain words, and to show foreign origin and also to write onomatopoeia.  \n\nA lot of people think kanji should be done away with because it's so hard, but that would cause a lot of comprehension problems since so many words are pronounced the same but have different kanji. It would actually make the language even more difficult to read.\n\nI hope that helps.\n\n\n\n\n(Next time, you should categorize questions like this under Society & Culture > Languages.)

newspapers are mostly written in Kanji.  There are three kinds that they use by Japanese people.  Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.  They use all three together sometimes. They use Katakana in reference to western words.  Not all japanese people can read Kanji as it's the hardest one.
