Recap 💫
🌈we added letters K, S, T to vowel stems a(あ), I(い), u(う), E(え), o(お)
So far you've learned almost half the hiragana alphabet ☀️
Unlike s and t,
N doesn't have any exceptions like letter K
-
N + vowel a(あ) = な
N + vowel I(い) = に
N + vowel u(う) = ぬ
N+ vowel e (え) = ね
N + vowel o(お) = の
Recap 🌈
Na な
Ni に
Nu ぬ
Ne ね
No の
🔑 make sure you have vowel pronunciations memorized!

Let's add them to our chart:
A あ Iい U う E え Oお
K か き く け こ
S さ し す せ そ
T た ち つ て と

Ka, Ki, ku, ke, ko
Sa, shi, su, se, so
Ta, chi, tsu, te, to
Na, ni, nu, ne, no

🌈 remember the pattern, it's became more apparent and now it's easier to grasp the hiragana alphabet
After N it's time to do letter H
💫h has an exception
H + vowel a(あ) = は
H+ vowel i(い) = ひ
H + vowel u(う) = ふ *exception pronounced Fu*
H + vowel e(え) = へ
H + vowel o(お) = ほ
