    When thinking about ぱ、ぴ、ぷ、ぺ、ぽ I like to think of the circles as bubbles, and remind myself that bubbles pop when they break, which creates the “p” sound :)

    Sharing my tips on how I memorized Hiragana
    1. After memorizing every set of characters, I try to write all the characters I've learned so far
    Ex. After learning the characters for "na" to "no", I try to write again all the characters starting from "a". I repeated this for every set of characters I learned until I memorized everything.
    2. After every set of characters, I also tried to answer the practice exercise I made so I can quickly recall the hiragana character for a particular sound
    Ex. I wrote randomly the english words/sounds (e.g. a, ka, so, e, ne, ki...) and then tried writing the hiragana corresponding to them.
    3. I also made flashcards of the hiragana. After every set of hiragana, I try to add the flashcards of the hiragana characters I've learned so I can practice reading hiragana.
    4. After learning all the hiragana, I searched online for hiragana reading/writing exercises and answered them.
    This is just my method of studying. I hope it helps someone else who wants to learn. Have fun learning 🙂

    I like the Hiragana symbols because some of their shapes are memorable like さ(sa) and き(ki) looks like a smiling man with a pointy nose wearing a conical hat. し(shi) looks like a hook. ひ(hi) looks like a horseshoe. And a few more. And one thing new Japanese learners should know is that Hiragana isn't always phonetic, like if は(ha) is a linking verb, it's pronounced "wa", same goes for へ(he) becoming "e" and を(wo) becoming "o", which is where Kanji might be necessary, when you say "Mom likes flowers" you don't write 「ははははながすき」(ha ha ha ha na ga suki) because it looks like gibberish (especially since Hiragana alone makes text childish), instead you write 「母は花が好き」(Haha wa hana ga suki).

Once you learn how to even read words, then you can worry about adding to you vocabulary without relying on anime. lol It starts to become fun. Just figure, you know, repetition repetition, repetition.
