They are はひふへほ.
は is pronounced as /ha/.
| Tip | I live in a house. は as in “house”.  |

| Note | は is read as “wa” when it acts as a particle. (Don’t worry, you will learn particle in Particle Course later. ) For example: わたしはトムです。 I’m Tom. |
ひ is pronounced as /hi/.
| Tip | He is on the wall. ひ as in “He”.  |
