プラン

プラン · puran · JLPT N3 · noun

plan

📋🗺️ プラン = katakana for English plan; the final n stands in for the n in plan

Japanese has no l sound, so plan becomes pu-ra-n: an extra u after p, r for l, and n at the end. Learn that sound swap once and words like プール (pool) and プレゼント (present) become easier to read.
