Can you speak Japanese?

I only know a few words and sentences. The language is quite unique, especially the written language. They use syllabaries, which are lines that create characters or picture like "letters" that makes a specific sound each. Usually us foreigners first learning Japanese would learn the written form of Hiragana or Katakana. Hiragana and Katakana are basic sounds such as "ah" "ee" "eh" "oh" and "oo" which are written in Romaji at the moment. Romaji is just taking a syllabary and giving us westerns a way of learning each sound instead of showing the syllabary. Which is hardly useful if you plan on fully learning the Japanese characters. Ramaji refers to using your frontal lobe but learning characters/syllabaries uses the

I'll include a short list of terms I know in Romaji with included Japanese characters just to show you what you'd be reading if you read it. Keep in mind I am no expert on this language, it has an informal v. formal version of most words but I do not know every one of them. How about you try pronouncing some Romaji that I know :)

Ohayo Gazaimasu: A more formal way of saying, "Good Morning".
Arigatou Gazaimasu: A more formal way of saying, "Thank you" which is more like, "Thank you very much."
Doitashimashite: "You're welcome." Not sure if this is formal or informal but I assume it's informal.
Konnichiwa: How you greet someone in person, "Hello".
Genki Desu Ka?: "How are you?"
Moshi Moshi: How you'd most likely greet someone on the phone, there is no definite translation.
Onee-san: This is what you'd call your older sister.
Oni-san: This is what you'd call your older brother.
Yatta!: "I did it!" or "Hooray" in celebration of a small achievement. Most likely informal.
Ita Daki Masu: Informal way of saying "Thank you for this food." Said before you eat.


Pronunciation:
Oh-ha-yo ga-za-ee-ma-ss yes the "u" is silent. Sometimes it is pronounced and other times it is not.
Ah-ree-ga-toe ga-za-ee-ma-ss
Doh-ee-ta-shi-ma-shi-tay
Ko-ni-chi-wa this one is pretty self explanatory to pronounce.
Geh-n-key De-su ka very self explanatory although sometimes the "u" isn't pronounced
Mo-shi mo-shi
Oh-nay s-aw-n
Oh-knee s-aw-n
Ya-ta
I-tay da-key Ma-ss

Maybe this was interesting or maybe it wasn't. This was definitely a challenge for me since I'm neither a teacher nor a Japanese speaker. I also recognize more phrases but I can't always think about what they mean. If you know any other Japanese words or phrases why not leave a comment :) Thanks for reading, have a great day!!
