H05 · N row
Goal: read 7 words with な に ぬ ね の.
Before you start
This lesson assumes what you saw in the earlier ones. If something feels shaky, go back to it:
New kana
- なna
- にni
- ぬnu
- ねne
- のno
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.
- いぬinudogUsually written 犬
- なつnatsusummerUsually written 夏

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 sign in a pet shop:
いぬ、ねこ
inu, neko
Which animals are there?
Translation
Dogs, cats.
