				Thanks!
 
 
How about where is the accent?
 
 
I have been saying "su DO ku"
 
 
But I am wondering if maybe it is "SU do ku" |

				Actually, neither.  In Japanese all syllables are accented equally.  Very difficult for us native English speakers to get right.

				| Thanks Newguy! That is a cool piece of information! Yes it does take some getting used to. I am sitting here trying to say sudoku without emphasis on any syllable...not easy! |

				I am the guest above who asked about the syllabic emphasis and then responded to newguy.    Then I read the poll about whether to allow guests to post messages and promptly registered!!!
 
 
No longer a guest!
