| "O" is prounounced like the "o" in cold.
"Oo" or "ou" are both pronounced like "oh."
"Ei" or "ee" are both pronounced like the "ay" of "okay."
"Aa" is pronounced like "ah." (That's an easy one.)
"Uu" is pronounced like the "ou" in "you."
"Ii" is pronounced like the letter E in English.
The way Onna and Koi are pronounced has the same "o" sound, but because the "o" in koi is followed by a vowel, the vowel sounds might sound mixed to you. If you listen carefully, it's actually the same sound.
