How to write ン
Follow the numbers on the diagram: each stroke starts at its number. Keep to this order, because that is how your hand remembers the shape.
How ン sounds
The only kana that is a consonant on its own, and Japanese words don’t start with it. It follows the next sound: before m, b or p it sounds like m, so さんぽ (sanpo, a walk) is said “sampo”.
