こいちは everyone!  It’s been quite some time since I wrote a new カタカナ post, but things have been so hectic for me here. Between end of semester projects, the WOTLK expansion & other RL emergencies, this had to be put on the back burner. Anyway, I’m back & ready to roll!  Moving on from the 1st 8 lines of katakana (a-ka

, or sa-ta, na-ha, ma-ya) we’ll now finish up the main 46 with ra, wa & n. I’ll get the tenten & contracted sounds posts out soon (I hope!)

Just note the differences between ソ(so) & ン (n).
So is a down stroke & n is an up stroke.

ラ リ ル レ ロ
ra  ri   ru   re   ro

ワ        ヲ**
wa                    wo


n

**While the same pronunciation as を, ヲ is rarely used in formal writing. Most books list it only as reference.

Some words using these kana:
ロボット
robotto - robot

ワンピース
wanpiisu- one piece dress (I think it’s like a jumper for girls /shrug)

Practice!

がんばって
Ganbatte!
