Hiragana Lesson 5: Ra - N
Ra - N
In this lesson we learned some more hiragana. The M row and the Y row.
わ を ん
Wa wO N |
ら り る れ ろ
Ra Ri Ru Re Ro |
を
The “(w)O” is pronounced like a normal お, however it is different because it is only used as a “particle”. Particles will be explained later (see "Lessons: The Basics"), but to make things simple, を is never used as any part of a word, only after a word. Thus, some of the practice below will be sentences. When writing this character in Romaji, it is perfectly acceptable to just write “O”.
ん
Be careful when reading the ん character. It is written in Romaji as nothing more than an “N”. If a vowel sound follows the letter “N”, then you are probably looking at a character in the NA NI NU NE NO row.

Instead of doing that, just go to wikipedia.org, the Japanese section (日本語), and start looking for Hiragana there! You know enough that you'll recognize a few here or there.
