Hey everyone, yesterday I had my first Japanese class in the exact way I needed... I’m learning Japanese using Portuguese as the base language! I’m delighted to have found free face-to-face Japanese course where I live so that’s wonderful.
We learned the romanization from some basic introduction and VOWELS in Hiragana and Katakana
So, vowels have a different order A-I-U-E-O
The sounds are really close and mouth doesn’t open as much as some western languages
O (home *in english this is always a dipthtong /aʊ/ so is not quite the same)
So here it’s the form of the vowels in Hiragana and Katakana (in this order):
A - あ - ア
I - い - イ
U - う - ウ
E - え - エ
O - お - オ
I might do a trace lesson to understand how it works do a portuguese version of this post for education purposes
