i suggest that when you click on a word in the japanese encylopedia there should be a button that you can click on to hear how to say it.

Well, just a couple easy ones:

kame - turtle
neko - cat
inu - dog
tsuru - crane
naga - serpent

I'm sorry, but aside from the usual salutations and typical manga/anime terms, that's as far as I can go... ^^U

Also, mihi and jidari means left and right, but I can't remember which is which... ^^UUU
