Sa, Shi, Su, Se, So...here's to what's next?

Alright,

Let's get started shall we. Last time we talked we learned about the K consonants, next is S.

What we've learned before starting the lesson:

ーーーーーーーーかあ
 ー ーーーーーきい
 ーーーーーーーくう
 ー ーーーーーけえ
ーーーーーーーーこお


Lesson:

Ok, さ. (Sa) Think of a making the symbol sound like the word saw, as in, Leo saw a bird. Next し, (Shi) it sounds like the word she in regards to referencing a gender. Then there's す(Su). Think of the name Sue. せ (Se) can be pronounced to the likeness of the first two letters of sell. Just cut it off short before the l's. Finally, theres そ. (So) This is closesly pronounced to the english so, just remember that and you should be alright. (Remember, I have links to audio pronounciations for all the hirigana we've learned, just click on the hirigana and you'll be taken to a site that will play the file for you.)

So now our chart looks like this.
