I don't understand what exactly you're asking. Could you clarify please?

As far as I know it's as simple as recognizing the "a i u e o... ka ki ku ke ko... sa shi su se so..." pattern. It's the same set of vowels, just with a different consonant before each set. This makes it much easier to break it up into chunks to remember... eg; the initial vowels, and then the few variations on that made by adding a different initial letter.
You can see all these groups more easily by looking at the main hiragana page. :) http://thejapanesepage.com/hiragana

Sad and salad are pronounced like the A in "back", but the Japanese A is pronounced more like the A in "ball". Say "back, ball, back, ball" and you'll immediately see the difference. =]
