Isa
'wa' / 'ha' ?
わたし はIsaです。
watashi wa Isa desu.
Waarom schrijf je de ha en zeg je de wa? Wanneer gebeurt dit nogmeer?
Why do you write ha and say wa? What is the rule, when does this also happen?
Thanks in advance.

You write ha when using it as a particle. And you use ha when saying こんいちは or こんばんは.

Might be terribly wrong on this but you do only pronounce は as "wa" when は is used as a particle. The pronunciation as such occurs to make the speech more fluent. As in your example, try comparing pronouncing it as "ha" instead of "wa" and you should note that it sounds more stuttering and less fluent.
