My Japanese Coach: Lesson XXII, Kana VII (Katakana T, N & Y series)

Lesson Twenty Two: Kana 7
How is your kana practice coming? Remember, if you don’t practice it then you won’t learn! This time I’m covering the t, n and y katakana characters. We’re getting close to finishing!
Remember that the t characters can have a dakuten, making their new sound a d. Also, a chi turns into a ji, and a tsu turns into a zu when the dakuten is used.
Here are the t characters in katakana! Remember to keep the correct stroke order.
ta
chi
tsu
te
to

Now for the n characters.
na
ni
nu
ne
no

Lastly, the y characters. Remember that these can be used to make new sounds like kya (キャ)!
ya
yu
yo

Looking at them is only going to do so much for you, so practice writing them!
