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
タ
chi
チ
tsu
ツ
te
テ
to
ト

Now for the n characters.
na
ナ
ni
ニ
nu
ヌ
ne
ネ
no
ノ

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

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