You’ve made it to the last set of unique Hiragana characters! Good job! There are remaining sets but you’ll find that they will use characters you’ve already learned in the past. Anyway, here are the last 3 characters for you to learn. ん – is a whole syllable in it self and is pronounced distinctly […]
Our next set of characters are the R-series. Japanese pronounces the “R” like it’s somewhere in between “L” and “R”. Your tongue should only slightly touch the top front part of your palate. Watch the video below for the pronunciation and the stroke order. See you in the next lesson! またね！
Today’s set only has three characters! The Y-series is made up only of YA, YU, and YO. Please check the video for how to pronounce and write these characters. Here’s a greeting which is used when you say goodbye, but with the nuance of seeing each other again soon – can you read it? またね！ […]

We have two “special” pronunciation for the T-series, CHI instead of TI, and TSU instead of TU. Again, no special reason for this other than this is just how Japanese pronunciation is! […]
Here are the next set of characters for your to learn. Note that the 2nd character is not SI but SHI. Why? Because the syllable/pronunciation SI does not exist in Japanese!
