Lesson Thirteen: Kana 4
It’s time for the fourth lesson on hiragana. One more lesson after this and you’ll be finished with hiragana!
Don’t forget to listen to the pronunciation of each character and check how to write it. Stoke order is important! Be sure not to confuse め (me) with ぬ (nu). ぬ‘nu’ has a loop at the end!
ma | ま |
mi | み |
mu | む |
me | め |
mo | も |
Now for the r series. Don’t forget to check your pronunciation! There is no real r sound in Japanese. What we write as r is actually a sound between r and l. This is why many Japanese speaking have trouble with r and l in English.
ra | ら |
ri | り |
ru | る |
re | れ |
ro | ろ |

GAME: Fading characters
Don’t forget to practice the hiragana that you’ve already mastered. It’s no good going through the alphabet if you’ve forgotten ABC by the time you’ve finished! Try to write more words in hiragana, it will really help your practice! Switch over to hiragana instead of romaji as soon as possible!
How well do you remember the new hiragana characters you learned? It’s time to test them out!
GAME: Write cards
Great! Get those mastered and then we can start asking questions. Asking questions is actually very easy!
