How to pronounce hiragana (ひらがな) aiueo (あいうえお わをん)

Hi, Konnichiwa! Welcome to speaking Japanese naturally. I'm Fumi. Today, I'm going to tell you how to pronounce Japanese あいうえお to わうん. I will especially deal with Shichitsu, Fuku, and Larirurelo. If you just want to listen to the sound without explanation, please go there. You can hear the sound when reading this chart horizontally and vertically. This is the IOL chart, known as the gojūon. The kana chart is called "50-sound chart" in Japanese. There were originally 50 characters added. However, the character in this yellow section has not yet been used. There are now 46 characters, but We call this the gojūon chart. This kana chart is written from top to bottom. And it is written from right to left. Columns displayed horizontally are shown within the same pronunciation group. This is Group A. This is Group E. Moreover, this vertical column is displayed in the same pronunciation group. This IOL is, of course, a pronunciation group, but Here, the child begins everything with sounds. And here, the half-written child begins everything with sound. However, in phonetics, the sounds are different. My child's pronunciation is slightly different from others', but It is the same in Japanese. That is why we are in the same group. I will teach you how to pronounce the word. And here stands the traditional custom. In Japanese, everything is in the same group. However, it's a bit different. I will teach you about them as well. Anyway, this vertical column is displayed in the same pronunciation group. Therefore, Japanese sounds are always created together with their pronunciation. Not only IOL, but also I think this has been made very skillfully. Let's start from IOL. And IOL has pronunciation. IOL and IOL. When you speak, you open your mouth. It is the widest when compared to other pronunciations. And when you speak, you stretch your mouth sideways. And I think O is a bit difficult. When you speak, your lips aren't rounded enough. And you don't blow your nose much. And then A's mouth is located between A and E. Therefore, And when you say it, you round your lips. When you speak, you round your lips. Now, next. It's not very difficult. I don't recommend inhaling too much. It's not very difficult. Next, It's not very difficult. However, please be careful. This pronunciation is similar to C. But when you say C, You open your mouth wide from the very beginning. First, you make the mouth of E. And you say C. And then, When you speak, It feels like cheese. But you make the mouth of E. And you are, When you open your mouth, You are called C. move one by one So it's the same as Shi. Both have the same mouth size of い Only your tongue moves differently Let me read Ikoran horizontally It's a secret, don't tell anyone. When you say "mi," your mouth moves to make the "n" sound. but apart from that, your mouth shape is the same Life is a mystery. Now let's practice つ It's the same sound as cats or bats. But again, you make the mouth of う first. then say tsu tsu so cats Depression Let me read Ukoran horizontally you'll notice that other than mu My mouth doesn't change its shape. u ku su tsu nu fu mu yu ru u So now you can say tachi tsu te to. Now let's move on to Nani Nu Ne No. They are almost the same as the English 'n' sound. but you press your tongue right behind your front teeth wider and longer than the English 'n' sound I think vowels are very important as well. Make the mouth of あ and say な Of course, your mouth moves to produce the 'n' sound. but you always want the mouth to be shaped like the mouth of あ Your consonant is always influenced by the following vowel. a, i, u, e, o, na, ni, nu, ne, no OK, I'm sorry, I don't understand. Could you please rephrase your question? What about nu ne no next is ひふへほ OK, so は is は. and h is h Can you hear the hissing sound? make this sound Please be careful with "fu". "Fu" is written as "fu," but it is not pronounced with an "f" sound. Don't make that fricative sound It's fū. It's like blowing out a candle very gently. Don't blow it out So Mount Fuji is and my name is next mamimume mo This is easy, right? Alright, next is Yayuu. I don't think this one has too many problems either. next rari ru re ro The Japanese syllables "らりるれろ" are neither "る" nor "あ". The tip of your tongue touches the roof of your mouth. for a very short time, like a millisecond and the place where the tip of your tongue touches is almost the same as when you say で So remember this place. but when you say "de" Your mouth is relatively closed. so when you say "de" Your mouth moves this much. but when you say "ra" Your mouth is already open. the mouth of A and say lalala and lalala so your mouth doesn't move make the mouth of A And put your finger here and don't move your mouth and try to hit the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue the place of at Ah The mouth doesn't move. Say it faster and try to remember the way your tongue moves and let's say with the other vowels ra ri ru re ro Another tip here Can you do this? The way you use your tongue is a little bit like this. but more gently with a vowel I hope it helps. Okay next wa and o Okay, so "wa" is "wa". wa is wa and O is written as this but the sound is the same as お There is no difference. Next, the very last one Actually, "n" has many sounds. for example when you say tempura It's the "n" sound. but when you say tonkatsu It's the "n" sound. but when you say "n" all by itself or when n is the last letter of a word then it's n Your tongue doesn't touch anywhere You just close the back of your throat. I think most of the time your mouth is open but sometimes you can close your mouth Either way, you close the back of your mouth. Japan Mr. Tanaka Now I'll read them all.
