Learn how hiragana sounds combine to create yōon (拗音).

In this video, Sarusensei explains how yōon characters are formed by combining an “i-row” hiragana character with a small や, ゆ, or よ. You will see how sounds like き + や become きゃ (kya), and how these blended sounds work in Japanese pronunciation.

This lesson focuses on writing, recognition, and sound blending. You will learn how to identify the small character, understand why size matters, and hear all common yōon combinations in order.

This video is part of a complete hiragana series.
Previous videos covered the basic gojūon and dakuten/handakuten.

Perfect for beginners who want to master combined hiragana sounds in a clear and structured way.
