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.
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 remember some friends and I thought the katakana "ne" looked like an upside-down horse eating hay, and since horses say "neigh," the sounds worked. Which somehow did not confuse us into thinking it was "he," and which was totally weird enough to stick in our heads. So there's my Japanese story, yay!

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.
