Pronunciation Tip
You may have noticed that “は” (ha) is sometimes pronounced as “わ” (wa). You may wonder how to distinguish this, and the truth is not many Japanese can explain how. There is a historical background and it just evolved to the way it is today. The best way to learn is to make mistakes and learn them one at a time.
