here are 5 vowels in Japanese.

(a), pronounced "ahh", (i), pronounced like "e" in "eat", (u),

pronounced like "oo" in "soon", (e), pronounced like "e" in "elk", and (o), pronounced "oh". All
Hiragana characters end with one of these vowels, with the exception of (n). The only "consonant"
that does not resemble that of English is the Japanese "r". It is slightly "rolled" as if it were a
combination of a "d", "r", and "l".
