These videos use Kanji (Chinese characters used in Japan) with small Hiragana over them (called Furigana), not Romaji. It's very important to learn Hiragana as soon as possible when studying Japanese as Romaji will hurt your pronunciation and hold you back from advancing in the language.
JapanesePod101 has a great series for teaching the basic Hiragana characters called Kantan Kana!
There are a few videos up on YouTube, so please check out the Kantan Kana series:
