Yosh! We had now finished the 's' section! We now covered the vowels (あ, い, う, え, お), the 'k's (か, き, く, け, こ), and the 's's (さ, し, す, せ, そ,). And now we are just going to do a quick review!

Now that we've learnt the third section (s) of the Japanese characters, which are: さ, し, す, せ, and そ. Now we are going to review them.

Review: Lesson 6 - 10

Konnichi wa minna! I hope you are all doing fine and doing good in your Japanese study.
Now that we've learnt the second section (k) of the Japanese characters, which are: か, き, く, け, and こ. Now we are going to review them.

Now, if you still have problems with them, I recommend you write them again (exercise in your textbook). Memorize the order of the strokes, the sound of it (pronunciation), their shape, etc. Easy!

Here're some Japanese words having only the characters you've learnt so far (not including any Romanji)... tell us if you could read them:

  • 顔/かお (face)
  • おく (to put; to place)
  • かおこ (...)
  • 子/こ (child)
  • ここ (here)
  • 訊く/きく (to hear; to listen)
  • 恋/こい (love; affection)
  • 愛 あい (love; affection)
  • 五/ご (5)


I will include more if I could think of any...

Here are the characters we have learnt so far (try to be familiar with them):
