Nine
I always thought that "Nine" was "Kyuu", not "Ku". Can it be both, or is "Kyuu" not right?
九

九 has two on'yomi pronunciations : kyuu and ku.

aaahhhh くwas the first kana I memorized without even trying to. I didn't even know what kana was. I just knew it made a "ku" sound :)

Clay adds them as he has time. He has to have his wife record them and then set them up here on the website when he's not busy running TheJapanShop.com etc. :)

at first I thought It's very hard to learn hiragana... but now.. its very easy and interesting:]

I agree it is very easy and interesting, though I am still not sure how I should pronounce words with a sound and then the same sound right after. Example: くうき "air" The
く and the う
Just think of it like each
Just think of it like each character having a "beat". Each beat is about the same length. So when you have a "u" sound right after the "ku" sound, just hold the "u" at the end of "ku" for an extra beat before saying the "ki" part. :)
Practice it like saying くき (ku-ki) as two beats (which is another word entirely, which means "stalk" like "stalk of corn"), and then くうき (ku-u-ki) as 3 beats and see if you can tell the difference. :) Pretty soon you'll be holding the sound the correct length by habit. :D
I hope this helps! :)
