Reading: こう
To remember the sound こう we use the name こういち. – Think of a construction worker. But, instead of thinking of a normal one, think of one that’s just wearing suspenders and a hard hat. He’s a sexy construction worker. Then, imagine this sexy construction worker as こういち, your favorite Japanese textbook writer.
Let him do a whistle at you too. You know you like it. *Whistles*
