That's as good an example as I could think of but there are probably better ways of showing its use. Naomi先生、

Where is Newbie Lesson #2 - S4? I can't find it anywhere! If you navigate to "Newbie" from the front page, you only get the older Nihongo Dojo series. In My Feed, I didn't get the other tracks from lesson #2 (dialog, review, etc.) so I'm searching for them. Lessons 1, 3-4 show up in the category "Newbie lessons (S4), but not lesson #2. 勉強したいです！(can you say that?) thanks, m. Hi!

So how about: Hey Rory, let's take Peter Lorre Laurie's lorry! "Lorry" even causes trouble for English speakers; "Red lorry, yellow lorry" is a tongue-twister that's been around a while.

The small tsu generally sounds like either a sharp pause or a quick burst when speaking, but it can easily become nearly inaudible when the conversation is very fast. The best way to get used to it is to listen to the dialogues while reading along with the script. Good point capt.strugglebunny.

I hear for English speakers the hardest Japanese pronunciations are "Rya Ryu Ryo" as in "Ryuugakusei" or "Ryokou" and "Tsukareta". I'm sure you will learn as you become more familiar with Japanese daily conversations!
