Gute Karten für den Anfang zum japanisch lernen

I bought a couple of Japanese flash card sets and this is the best of all of them. The way it breaks down the pronunciations of the words and short sentences makes it easy to understand. I wish they had more sets of Japanese.

Japanese version: I liked it — until I found a critical flaw. Inconsistent use of “oh”. This is not a small problem since we’re trying to figure out how to correctly “spell” in hiragana. Missing and having extra “o” or ”ee“ vs ”i“ is a huge problem. Example: Where = doko in Hiragana. But the card says “doh ko” for prounciation. Or Today = kyoo in Hiragana. But the card says “kyoh”. How do I explain this problem? There‘s no “oh” in Hiragana. I need to know if ”oh“ means “o” or “oo”. And if you mean all “oh” to be “oo”, then where‘s the instructions for that, and it should be consistently used. For example, you wrote: please = “oh ne gai shi mas su” when that should have just be “o” and not “oo” And all of the Kanji that’s used on the cards do not have Hiragana next to them (a missed opportunity at best, and super confusing at worst). The only reason I can still use these cards is because I took 4 semesters of Japanese in college and I read some Mandarin enough to guess. I bought these to teach my daughter — and to refresh my memory from decades ago. On a positive note, I LOVE the Syllabary that‘s included. I’d buy more of these or little versions to carry around. Also, the cards are beautiful and high quality. I hope yall fix the problems I mentioned. Should be an easy fix right? Best of luck!
