Lesson 10: わをん
In this lesson, I will teach you the last three hiragana.
They are わをん.
わ is pronounced as /wa/.
| Tip | Wow! A magic wand! わ as in “wand”. ![]() |
| Stroke Order | ![]() |
| Write it Down | ![]() |
を is pronounced as /o/.
Note:
(1)Romaji of を is “wo” or “o”. But the pronunciation is “o”.
(2)50% of Japanese people read it as “wo” because of historical reason, so feel free to read it as “wo” if you like it!
| Tip | Oh!A cheerleader is on my toe!. を as in “Oh”. ![]() |
| Stroke Order | ![]() |
| Write it Down | ![]() |
ん is pronounced as /ng/.
| Tip | This is in the end. ん as in “end”. ![]() |

Romaji of わをん:
| Hiragana | わ、ん | を |

Note:
| The hiragana を is special, it won’t appear in any words. It’s a particle. You will learn particle later, no worries! |
