Japanese language structure is actually quite complicated so there is no single word for 'is' but if you want to form a sentence saying that something is something this is the basic formula:
"A wa B desu."
So for example if you wanted to say "This is an apple," it would be:
"Kore wa ringo desu."
Kore meaning 'this' when there is a noun present in the sentence and 'ringo' meaning apple.
"Wa" indicates the subject and so what that you are talking about, 'this'. "Desu" is most closely translated as 'is' but it doesn't really mean that, it's one form of the verb 'to be'.
For pronounciation, "Wa" is just as it looks but the 'u' on "desu" is usually silent so it's just 'Dehss' unless a most humble delivery is desired.
