There are 2 special characters that pronounce differently from it’s ususal pronunciation depending on how it uses :

“ha(は)” should be read as “wa” when it is use individually
Example : kore ha nan desu ka? (これなんですか?) (What is this?) – we should read this as “kore wa nan desu ka?

Same goes to “he(へ)”, we should use “e” when it is used individually.

So practice now on the pronunciation and later I will start the first lesson of day to day conversation.
