The Hiragana Alphabet 2. hiragana - や ゆ よ ら り る れ ろ わ を ん 3. vocabulary/pronunciation 1. The Hiragana Alphabet (Gojuuon) With this lesson, you'll be finishing up the basic phonetic alphabet in Japanese (gojuuon). Other sounds will follow, but they're going to be variations of the ones you've already learned. "Gojuuon" literally means "50 sounds". But there are really only 46 (with 2 obselete characters sometimes included for 48). The alphabet in it's entireity looks like this: あ い う え お か き く け こ さ し す せ そ た ち つ て と な に ぬ ね の は ひ ふ へ ほ ま み む め も や ゆ よ ら り る れ ろ わ を ん This style of ordering is used in most stores, indexes and other Japanese filing systems. So not only do you need to know these characters, but the order in which they appear in the alphabet. You've had the advantage of learning hiragana in the gojuuon order... the trick now is to make that order 2nd nature. We'll be working more with ordering in the next lesson... so please take some time to review the ordering presented here. 2. Hiragana や-ん Now for your next set of hiragana ~ this week you'll be learning 11 characters. や - ya ゆ - yu よ - yo ら - ra り - ri る - ru れ - re ろ - ro わ - wa を - wo ん - n Please note that each character contains a vowel sound from the first week's set (a i u e o) with the exception of the final character "ん".
