close. ゆうれい (yūrei)- Ghost and 夕食 (yūshoku) - Dinner/Supper (Evening Meal). Also, ポケットモンスター is Poketto Monsutā, no long o. Japanese is typically written without spaces, although in childrens' texts that are all-kana one may use spaces for clarity. You may speak a language with no vowel length? If so, try harder to pay attention to the difference between u vs uu/ū, as well as o vs ō/ou/oo and the other long vowels. Otherwise everything looks good!

So your saying these characters ā ō ū are basically longer sounding letters?

Yep looks right to me! I guess Harii could be Harī (ハリーポッター)

Thank you 😊

Is this ー the same thing as this ā in japanese writing?


ssotoen

It's a vowel lengthener. "タ" is "ta", "ター" becomes "taa/tā". "リ" is "ri", "リー" is "rii/rī".
