Lesson 7: はひふへほ
In this lesson, I will teach you five hiragana.
They are はひふへほ.
は is pronounced as /ha/.
| Tip | I live in a house. は as in “house”.  |
| Stroke Order |  |
| Write it Down |  |
| 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”.  |
| Stroke Order |  |
| Write it Down |  |
ふ is pronounced as /hu/.
(sounds like in the middle of hu and fu.)
