皆(みんな)さん、こんにちは…

Hi, everyone...
When we talk about learning Japanese, this always comes first (don't ask me why):
Hiragana.
Hiragana (平仮名) consists of the most basic letters in Japanese.
They are used just like our "ABC".
What's the difference?
Hmn... well, as you can see... the way it sounds, the way it's written, and of course number...
As you can see, there is gojuon (五十音) which means 50 sounds; and dakuten (濁点) mean this ゛ symbol on the top right side of the letter...
When dakuten is applied, the sound changes...
Example.. T become D [ro (と) => do(ど)]..
See the difference?
Anyway, here is the table:
We will start by learning how to pronounce it.
In different countries, we tend to pronounce languages in different ways.
But in Japan, each hiragana/katakana only has one pronunciation.
Rather than explaining how to pronounce the letters here, you guys should learn them from anime, Japanese songs, or even VNs/eroge instead. That's what brought us here together right? ^^
Well then, this is the end of hiragana lesson~
Good luck to those who are learning ^^
btw, I recommend you to learn it by listening to a song while looking at its lyrics (with hiragana/平仮名付け)
Remember, one hiragana/katagana = one syllable...
So keep the song tempo in mind, while remembering that one hiragana has one syllable.
e.g.
お ね が い し ま す
o ne ga i shi ma su
Good luck in learning then =]
