can't convert list to string?

def disemvowel(word):
    vowels = ['a','e','i','o','u','A','E','I','O','U']
    word_list = list(word)
    for letters in word_list:
        if letters in vowels:
            word_list.remove(letters)
    return ''.join(word_list)

I asked this question bunch of times before but strangely I'm unable to understand joins at all

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    vowels = ['a','e','i','o','u','A','E','I','O','U']
    word_list = list(word)
    for letters in word_list:
        if letters in vowels:
            word_list.remove(letters)
    return ''.join(word_list)

Hello Soma Your code looks ok and it works just a little exception, so the for() can loop trough the word without making from the word a list, a string it's already a list

for letter in word:

This will pass the test. The join method you did it well, it looks like you understand it. I hope this helps you. Happy coding
