I find it interesting that people are pronouncing the "a" as an "o". Why are you doing that? I suppose it could be right, I just don't see why you would do it if you don't know to. I can understand there are variations on what it should be, like the a from cat, or eh, or ah, but o?

I wouldn't say a 'huge' difference, unless you're enunciating carefully and unnaturally.Tsubaki said:There's a huge difference in the way you say (and hear) say "kite" vs "kitte".

Thanks for propagating ignorance.
Not really referring to you, with my comment above, but wanted to also reply to the double consonant thing.
To a Japanese listener, there's a big difference. At least, to know they're different words. The flow of the word is changed because of the stop the double-consonant induces.

For the record, Tom Brokaw mispronounced both Buchalki AND bukkake.Lemonz said:
You had a lot to say about Japan this summer for somebody visiting/studying the language for only 6 weeks (alot of which I disagreed with)I don't know, I think the difference between kite and kitte is pretty big. I can certainly hear it, and I've only formally studied Japanese for about 6 weeks during this summer.
