We have decided to decline your offer of a butt kicking.

I'm afraid I don't know enough about how Japanese folks pronounce things to tell, but how are things like "Sakki" and "Saki", "Sense-" and "Sensei", or "Yuki" and "Yukki" pronounced differently? They sound the same in my mind.

This video is a decent explanation of the double consonant thing.

Sense- vs. sensei is a little hard for me to describe. The second one is normal pronunciation. The first exaggerates the final sound, I guess? At least that's what pops into my head. Maybe like the line 28 seconds into this video?
