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!

The mini quizes

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. :)

Do you mean add the sound? If so, I do plan on it. I'm just so busy right now :(

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

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