Hiragana Page 07 か ka

Oni's picture

Now we have the first consonant [K sound + A sound = KA]

HOW TO WRITE IT
[Follow the red strokes from left to right]

ROMAJI - ka
SOUND
- [as in CAr]


MEMORY: I remembered it because it looks like a 'K' - well sort of...


EXAMPLES: How do you say them?
- This means "face"
- This means "squid"

- This means "to buy"
- This means "red"

Hiragana and Katakana use the same sound system. So once you learn the way Hiragana works, Katakana isn't too difficult!

Man, it's so awesome that you

Man, it's so awesome that you add in those little examples at the bottom! Most of those words I already know and remember from past attempts at teaching myself, but it's different without the romanized versions right next to them! I keep myself from looking at my notes to make myself sound it out. Then it's like "Bam!" and I know what I said! I did that with "akai"~
This website is so awesome!

lol, nice

For me it's actually pretty easy to pronounce those words and letters very well even without listening to the sound examples, because japanese is very close to my birth language in pronunciation and that's so cool!^^

I love this website.

Awesomness

God, this page is just awesome. I practice 30-60 minutes everyday with some books and with this i can get the sounds right too!

So... Sound...

So I know your busy, but when are you going to add sound for the examples? Sorry to bother you about it.

The mini quizes

Konnichiwa

Just joined this website because it's awesome!

I was thinking, could you include the vocab you give us in those mini quizes? I think it would be really good practise. :)

Chao

I believe he means if you

I believe he means if you could use the examples that are given in a quiz.

I think you're right.

I think you're right. I think they mean to take the 4 words listed as the examples as use them in a quiz as well.

I would think that should probably go in another section of the site for learning vocabulary though. :( Generally people that are drilling through these are just trying to learn the kana for the first time and are total beginners... trying to learn extra completely random vocabulary at the same time might be distracting from the main goal of getting the kana themselves down pat first. :)

Maybe Clay could look at setting up a beginner level vocabulary quiz as well that would serve the purpose PurpleFlower is looking for? :)

You got it!

Yes, I meant putting those extra random vocab words in a quiz. I strongly believe that mastering the vocab that uses familiar characters early on will benefit greatly in the long run, no matter how random!

great news thnx :D

great news thnx :D

the examples

Yes, we will--eventually. :) I do have the sound files ready, but I need to get the Grammar section done first.
