The stories I learnt for ne, re and wa...

Ne, there is an old man leaning on a stick... he has to climb a mountain to go visit his daughter. He's at the bottom of the mountain looking up at it thinking he'll NEver be able to reach the top.

Re, the old man is half way to the top of the mountain and has to stop for a REst.

Wa, the old man gets to the top of the mountain and sits down to cry WA WA WA because he's still gotta get down to the bottom of this one, and he'd forgotten about the mountain he had to climb after it.

I may have embellished a tad but it's along those lines... and 22 years later I still remember the hiragana stories XD

Those 3 are hard...but it took me forever to get my head around me and nu... nu has the noodle and me is when the noodle has dropped off and made a huge MEss.

I can't sort out getting kana on my machine either and it's frustrating me.

Gimme a hoy if you ever wanna converse in Japanese. I need the practice. I'm so rusty.

Bwa ha ha ha!

Yes! For sure! I'd LOVE to!

Me looks like a fish, which I love (So I remember it's Me that breeds fish!), and Nu is for the New fancy guppies I breed, hence the extra little loop on the fish!

I have a stack of stories for each... for katakana too (although I don't remember them as well.)

I must get around to posting them... if I ever sort out getting kana installed on my machine :/

My favourite has always been se... a boy with his arm around a girl.. and we all know what boys want.

And then the katakana se is a boy with a broken arm coz the girl didn't want any you know what.

And, su in hiragana is a seed growing underground. SOOn we will have a marijuana plant... (Can you tell my first Japanese teacher knew how to get through to 12 year old kids? LOL)

"zo" ぞto me looks like a Z for Zoo! With apostrophes for the missing O!
"mu" む looks like a bull with horns, it says "Muu!"
"tsu" つ looks like a wing (The japanese word for 'wing' is "tsubasa")
"ho" ほ is a wHOre to write, because it's got THREE straight lines and one loopy one!

Ohhh I like your zo! Better than the "so" it's a sowing needle.

Mu was a cow going moo..

Tsu is a big nose going Aaaaatttssssuuu.

And ho.. is telephone lines for calling HOme.

I love ke and ha though

Ke is a keg at the party.. and then later someone shoots a hole in the keg and now the beer is flowing freely ha ha ha!
