Hiragana 4

Today's post will be about the wonderful world of TA. In TA world there lives TA, TI, TU, TE, and TO.

Comfortable?

Good. I lied. TA world actually consists of TA, CHI, TSU, TE, TO. These are the other 2 exceptions to the pattern that I mentioned previously...and hey I might even be lying about that too. Same as the last time, the reason the pattern is different is only because of how they are actually pronounced.

By the way, if you aren't using the links I am providing you are only getting half of the story. I write these instructional posts with it in mind that you will visit the links and study what is there.
