Unlucky English-speaking users. In Romania, we have pretty much the same pronunciations as those in Japanese.

Differences reside in the use of the "k", "w" and "y" consonants, because we don't really use them in things other than neologisms.

A short comparrison:

Romanians have two special cases with e and i when they follow the letter g and c

"chi" and "che" are pronounced as ki and ke

Whilst "ci" and "ce" are pronounced as chi and che (as in cherry)

"gi" and "ge" are pronounced as gi from giant and ge from george

whilst "ghi" and "ghe" are pronounced as the gi and ge from Japanese. And the rest are pretty much read as you would read in Japanese. No complications in pronounciation like the English language.
