About ひらがな

Writing system• 3 writing systems in Japanese: Hiragana ( ほりたさちえ ), Katakana ( ホリタサチエ ) and Kanji ( 堀田幸江 ).

• Hiragana is used for words created by Japanese• Katakana is used for foreign loan words• Kanji are used for writing content words such as verbs,

nouns, adjectives, etc. They usually represent meaning as well as sound.

ははははです。母は歯です。歯は母です。

私の名前は　ギブソンゆみこです。

Pronunciation

• Japanese pronunciation is relatively easy compared with English or Chinese:

• (1) There are only five vowels in Japanese: あ /a/ い /i/ 　う /u/ え /e/ お /o/

• (2) A Japanese consonant is usually followed by a vowel to make a unit of sounds which is usually called a mora or syllable, and consonants are usually not grouped together.
