Konnichiwa Minnasan.-
Today we will talk about one of the
most tricky sounds when we start to learn Japanese
Sound Wa (わ). This sound
is tricky because sometimes we confuse it with sound “ga” , “ba” or English “wa”. Japanese sound “Wa” (わ). Is what we called a dipthong
a mix of two vocal sounds.
In this case sound “u-a”. (“u” sounds like “oo” in moon) and (sound “a” like in father). Run together both sounds keep your lips straight and your jaws down after finish the sound. And now you get the exact sound. Remember sometimes Japanese letter は sounds like (wa) when is used as a particle.
Now you can say correctly Wakarimaska (ua-akarimaska) ; Watashi-wa (ua-atashi-ua-a)
and so on.
