め and メ
Pronunciation
“ME” sound in "Medal".
め Memorization Story
The hiragana め is a person about to jump off the loopy ramp you have to jump off of to WIN said medal.
Another example you COULD use for the hiragana is め. め is EYE in Japanese, and this character DOES look kind of a like an eye.
メ Memorization Story
The katakana メ is an X-GAMES medal.
Writing
The hiragana め is almost identical to ぬ, but without the noodly loop at the end.
When drawing the katakana メ, make sure to PULL BACK the first stroke, just like the katakana ノ, and then make the second stroke slightly curved down, and shorter than the first.
