Hiragana-WA WO

In the last lesson, we went over やゆよ — a simple lesson without anything to trick you.

The W consonant is even easier because there are only two of them (though sometimes three).

WA WO-わを

First, let’s cover how to pronounce these characters. You can tap each character to hear the native pronunciation.

Pronouncing わを

• わ (wa) – sounds like “wa“
• を (wo) – sounds like “whoa”

Look Out For わ and ね

Pay close attention to わ(wa) and ね (wo). You can see ね has a curl and the angle of the curve is ever-so-slightly different.
