Hiragana 2

If you haven't already, obtain some graph paper in which to practice these characters on. There is a practice sheet you can print out here:
http://japanese-lesson.com/characters/hiragana/pdf/hiragana_writing.pdf
You should write them a good deal of times until they feel at least somewhat natural to write. This post is going to focus on the KA family of characters. Because you should know how to pronounce the vowels by now (and vowel sounds never change in Japanese...as far as I know), I shouldn't need to give you instruction on pronunciation. If you do need help, feel free to ask in comments.

Full lesson here:

か (ka) - "kah" as in "calm" for example

き (ki)

く (ku)

け (ke)

こ (ko)

Again, you need to practice writing these. It is very important if you hope to be able to write Japanese one day. After you feel like you have a good grip on them, test yourself with this set and the first set on http://www.realkana.com/.

Again, any questions or corrections, post a comment of send me an email at nihonnotes [at] gmail [dot] com
