My speaking was okay this time, I could've had more pronunciation and energy. I also had to rely on my memo once or twice to make sure I did not forget to mention a topic.

To indicate the long aa sound:

1. In most foreign words, length is shown by adding a length marker ー.

2. In other cases (e.g., katakana renditions of words usually written in characters or hiragana), the symbol ア a is added to an a-row syllable (rare).

To indicate the long ii sound:

1. In most foreign words, length is shown by adding a length marker ー.

2. In other cases (e.g., katakana renditions of words usually written in characters or hiragana), the symbol イ i is added to a syllable ending in i.

To indicate the long uu sound:

1. In most foreign words, length is shown by adding a length marker ー.

2. In other cases (e.g., katakana renditions of words usually written in characters or hiragana), the symbol ウ u is added to a syllable ending in u.

キュー kyuu 'cue (in billiards)'

To indicate the long ee sound:

1. In most foreign words, length is shown by adding a length marker ー. However, it is also very common to see the symbol イ i added to a syllable ending in e (as shown in no. 2).

2. In other cases (e.g., katakana renditions of words usually written in characters or hiragana), the symbol イ i is added to a syllable ending in e.
(Note: Although indicated with an イ i, ei is actually pronounced as a lengthened e sound. )

To indicate the long oo sound:

1. In most foreign words, length is shown by adding a length marker ー.

2. In other cases (e.g., katakana renditions of words usually written in characters or hiragana), the symbol ウ u is added to a syllable ending in o. There are a few exceptional words where the long ō sound is indicated with an オ o rather than an ウ u.

(Note: This site romanises long o as ō. This runs counter to the recent trend to use ou. The reason for using ō is: (1) there is a distinction between long ō and the true ou sound that needs to be preserved and (2) there is no distinction in pronunciation between the long ō sound indicated with ウ and that indicated with オ.)

Doubling of stop consonants is indicated with a small tsu ッ. In Japanese words, normally only t, k, p, and s are doubled in this way. In foreign words, d b, g, j, h, f, and even v or r can also be doubled.

バッタリ battari 'with a thud, suddenly, unexpectedly'
バッグ baggu 'bag'
バッド baddo 'bad'
バッハ bahha 'Bach'

Doubling of nasal consonants is indicated with an ン n.

ハンマー hanmaa 'hammer'.
