K05 · M and Y rows
Goal: read 8 words with マ ミ ム メ モ ヤ ユ ヨ.
Before you start
This lesson assumes what you saw in the earlier ones. If something feels shaky, go back to it:
New kana
- マma
- ミmi
- ムmu
- メme
- モmo
- ヤya
- ユyu
- ヨyo
Look at their shape and reading. If in doubt, check the katakana 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.
- スマホsumahosmartphone
- トマトtomatotomato
- メモmemomemo, note
- ハムhamuham
- マスクmasukuface mask
- アニメanimeanime
- タイヤtaiyatyre
- メキシコmekishikoMexico
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:
トマト、ハム
tomato, hamu
What do you need to buy?
Translation
Tomatoes, ham.
