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/.

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!

ん is pronounced as /ng/.

Romaji of わをん:

Hiragana	わ、ん	を
Romaji	wa, n	“wo” or “o”

Note:

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