Hello, once again. We've completely exhausted the main part of the syllabary
and the dakunten and handakuten parts. Now, it's time to move onto the
dipthongs. From this point forward, I'm not introducing anything new. All
of it will be review from here on out. What I plan to then do is the following.
I'll show you what each of these characters looks like. If you're having
trouble remembering them, I've linked the lesson where you first learned
them to this page. If all else fails, you can go back and look at how it
is written. Gomen, I don't have any pronunciation keys for this but Reiko-san
will have a sound byte for you and there will be examples.
I'd like to take a minute and explain what all these dipthongs are.
Mostly, dipthongs are a combination of <Constant>+I
and followed by a small YA, YU, YO.
Other combinations of a big character and a small character could be other
sounds (e.g., like FI which you'll
learn in the final lesson) or it could be a small TSU
(which indicates a pause should be taken).
Also, here are the steps for drawing all of these kana. First, draw the
big main character first. Second, draw the dakuten
or handakuten. Finally, draw the second
character and make sure that it's smaller than the first. If it's not,
you'll get a completely different sound and meaning.
Well, let's get started then.
