Okay, well I guess I could start a a very basic place.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pronounciation;

a - pronounced like the a in father.

i - pronounced like the ee in keep.

u - pronounced like the u in lute (except without rounding the lips).

e - pronounced like e in prey.

o - pronounced like the o in corn.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, it might be useful to put up a bit of vocabulary as well, to practice pronouncing these sounds with.

a - ah, oh

a****a - tommorrow

aki - autumn

asa - morning

isu - chair

inu - dog

ai - love

ike - pond

umi - sea

uchi - house

e - to

ehon - picture book

koe - voice

ue -top

obi - sash

kao - face
