A friend of mine on Facebook sent me this message after I sent him a simple inquiry about the status of media coverage of Fukushima in Japan. I was hoping he would send me his message in Hara / Kata, but he wrote his reply in english phonetics, so I cannot scrutinize the actual Japanese language, which I am trying to learn:( I am familiar with the basics, but this is beyond me, and without the character set from the written form, I cannot read his reply. It would mean a lot to me if someone could help translate his response.

here it is >

Heeey!

I am still confused / I have been confused until now...?

It scares me every day that there is a reactor near my town.

Thank you Davey! I got some of that in a general sense, but the majority was not legible to me.
 
I doubt putting it in Japanese text would make it any clearer. As a learning tool, is there any particular point or part of it you would like help with? Seems like a good opportunity.

There's part of it in kana for you. Is it easier to understand now?

Sorry for the late reply. I actually cannot read Japanese, so it does not help me to see it in Kana. I speak a little bit of Japanese, not much, just simple phrases that everyone on a basic level should know, bu thank you very much for your help!
 
In the month and a half since you posted this you could have learned the kana.

Are you actually learning Japanese? Or are you just memorizing phrases?
