Oh sorry it probably wasn't clear you need to either directly print ''.join(word) or assign it to a variable which could be something like this: word = ''.join(word) if you want to use the same variable.

Great! thanks, but the last part, for some reason, the
last part ''.join() isn't working it stays in list
forms, donno what im doin wrong, heres my code.
print "Enter a word and i well tell you how to say it

word = raw_input("Your word: ")
word = list(word)
word.reverse()
''.join(word)
print word
