They all sound so similar to me, I want to know how I can tell the difference
these since they make the same sound. (Please excuse me if I’m wrong I’m very
new to Japanese and currently learning hiragana)

question
pronunciation
I want to know the difference between ざじずぜぞ And だぢづでど
I'm Mikiko Iwasaki. すみません。My name probably appears in Kanji. I am a native
Japanese speaker and a professional Japanese language teacher. Historically,
「じ」and 「ぢ」have different sounds, and「ず」and 「づ」have different sounds. But in
modern Japanese, they are pronounced the same in most areas in Japan, じ[ji],
ぢ[ji], and ず[zu], づ[zu]. As Ellettさん writes, ざ[za] and だ[da] have different
sounds. ざline syllables have [z] + [a], [e], [o], and だline syllables have [d]
+ [a], [e], [o]. If you can pronounce or if you can check the pronunciation of
"Zambia," the name of the country, and "diamond," the first sounds of each
word are similar to ざ[za] and だ[da]. So, please try.
