H03 · S row
Goal: read 8 words with さ し す せ そ.
Before you start
This lesson assumes what you saw in the earlier ones. If something feels shaky, go back to it:
New kana
- さsa
- しshi
- すsu
- せse
- そso
Look at their shape and reading. If in doubt, check the hiragana chart (gojūon).
Trace practice
Go over the shape with your finger, mouse or a stylus. It is free practice: it does not count towards passing the lesson.
Words
You practise them in kana; underneath you can see how they are usually written.

Practice
Two rounds: first you read each word and type its romaji, then you pick what it means. No romaji on screen.
Reading in context
A short text written only with the kana and grammar you already know. Read it and answer.
A note on the fridge:
しお、すし
shio, sushi
What do you need to buy?
Translation
Salt, sushi.
