The next line well will be studying is the “s” line in hiragana.
さ- (sa) To make the さ sound you combine the “s” sound with the “ah” vowel sound. It is similar to the “sa” sound in the English word “saw”.
せ- (se) To make the せ sound you combine the “s” sound with the “eh” vowel sound. It is similar to the “se” sound in the English word “semester”.
し- (shi) The make the し sound you combine the “sh” sound with the “ee” vowel sound. It is pronounced just like the English word “she”.

す- (su) To make the す sound you combine the “s” sound with the “oo” vowel sound. It is similar to the “su” sound in the English word “super”.
