In this lesson, I will teach you five katakana, which are ハヒフヘホ.

ハ is pronounced as /ha/.

ヒ is pronounced as /hi/.

フ is pronounced as /hu/.
(sounds like in the middle of hu and fu.)

ヘ is pronounced as /he/.

ホ is pronounced as /ho/.

Another good one to add to the list after ナイフ would be ナイス, just to show how getting the katakana wrong can change the meaning.
