This is the last group of five. This is also the one that most people have trouble pronouncing. The dreaded 'r'. This sound isn't 'r'.
A lot of people want to compare it to an 'L', but it isn't quite that either. It's more of a 'd' 'r' and 'l' all rolled into one. But we will get to that. First, let's 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) み = (mi)
ぬ = (nu) ふ = (fu) ぶ = (bu) ぷ = (pu) む = (mu)
ね = (ne) へ = (he) べ = (be) ぺ = (pe) め = (me)
の = (no) ほ = (ho) ぼ = (bo) ぽ = (po) も = (mo)
And now for the 'r' kana
ら = (ra)
り = (ri) *you will see this one written another way as well. Just letting you know so you don't freak out like I did. My keyboard will only type it the way shown.
る = (ru)
れ = (re)
ろ = (ro) Be careful with this one, as it is very similar to る (ru).
As for pronunciation, give this a listen. The 'r' sounds
And now for some words.
あびる = (abiru) = to take a shower
はじまる = (hajimaru) = to start, begin
くる = (kuru) = to come. *This is an irregular verb
する = (suru) = to do. *This is the other irregular verb
きる = (kiru) = to cut
たべる = (taberu) = to eat
あたたまる = (atatamaru) = to warm up; to get warm
しる = (shiru) = know
かす = (kasu) = lend
みる = (miru) = to see
Learn these well. Tomorrow is a big day. The last of the regular kana. Yay!
じゃまったね！(ja mattane) See you later!
