.:Japanese Lessons:.
Since final_fantasy_girl24 could no longer update this page, I've redone it:D Below's a list of Japanese words in Romanji along with their English equivalents. Most of the words below were found on other websites or submitted to the guild by another member so there may be errors. For the most part, I think that the content below is accurate.
