I am back today with the 'm' kana.
But of course, start with the review.
あ = (a) ah か = (ka) が = (ga) さ = (sa) ざ = (za) た = (ta) だ = (da)
い = (i) ee き = (ki) ぎ = (gi) し = (shi) じ = (ji) ち = (chi) ぢ = (ji)
う = (u) ou く = (ku) ぐ = (gu) す = (su) ず = (zu) つ = (tsu) づ = (zu) (dzu or du)
え = (e) eh け = (ke) げ = (ge) せ = (se) ぜ = (ze) て = (te) で = (de)
お= (o) oh こ = (ko) ご = (go) そ = (so) ぞ = (zo) と = (to) ど = (do)
に = (ni) ひ = (hi) び = (bi) ぴ = (pi)
ぬ = (nu) ふ = (fu) ぶ = (bu) ぷ = (pu)
ね = (ne) へ = (he) べ = (be) ぺ = (pe)
の = (no) ほ = (ho) ぼ = (bo) ぽ = (po)
55 Hiragana kana. Isn't it amazing? Let's make it an even 60.
ま = (ma) *Please don't confuse this with ほ. It is fairly easy to do.
み = (mi) Remember the sound is different. This reads like 'me'
む = (mu)
め = (me) Remember the sound difference. This reads like 'meh'
も = (mo)
I hope that you are not relying too heavily on the romaji. It is easy to read the romaji words as English and that is not always right. If you haven't yet, please take a listen to the link I posted a couple of lessons back for the sounds.
I wish I could post more verbs, because in the Japanese language, a verb is all you need sometimes to form a complete sentence. But a lot of them end with 'ru' and we haven't gotten that far yet.
But the good news is that we are almost done with the Hiragana chart. In fact, tomorrow's lesson with finish it off. There are still a few special things to cover, very important things. But those will come the day after.
But here are some words to play with in the meantime!
こだもの = (kudamono) = Fuit, for eating.
あめ = (ame) = rain, or candy. Again, this is where kanji comes in.
みなみ = (minami) = south
にし = (nishi) = west
ひがし = (higashi) = east
みず = (mizu) = water
みせ = (mise) = store
まど = (mado) = window
めがね = (megane) = glasses
みち = (michi) = road
じゃまったね (ja matta ne) See you later!
