How to Pronounce Basic Japanese Sounds
There are 46 basic sounds in Japanese. The first five sounds (a, i, u, e, o) are vowels, and the rest of the sounds are a combination of a vowel and a consonant. I think Japanese is easy to pronounce when compared to other languages.
However, some people might find the pronunciation of "r" and "f" difficult. Please check out my explanation about the sounds of "r" and "f". You can also check out the "Hiragana Audio Chart", which shows all 46 hiragana sounds.

Japanese Counters
Each language has a different way of counting objects. In Japanese, different categories of objects have specific counters associated with them. It is similar to English phrases such as "slices of ~" "pair of ~" "cup of ~" and so on. Please checkout my "Counters" page to learn more about them.
