Thank you for this article!
I am realy interested in japanese and began to learn it on my own first (a bit^^)
the more i learned, the more i liked and was interested in it O.o
i will learn hiragana and katakana first and **** on romaji as fast as i can :D
romaji was confusing me too and EXACTLY the way you said it ”arigato, arigatou, arigatō”
i didnt understand it and tried to form some logic out of it xD
Listening to very much japanese wont be a problem, i realy love the ”sound” of this language

like always: sorry for my unperfect english, hope you could understand it^^’
THANK YOU JOHN

lol, yeah I just meant using the same characters that speakers/writers of the English language use whether they be American, English, Australian or otherwise.

Just stop using it. It shouldn’t be hard for you to quit it especially
if you recognize what a hindrance it is to your progression.

Just stop using romaji altogether.
