K08 · Dakuten and handakuten

Goal: read 9 words with dakuten (゛) and handakuten (゜).

Before you start

This lesson assumes what you saw in the earlier ones. If something feels shaky, go back to it:

They work as in hiragana: ゛ voices the sound (カ → ガ, ハ → バ) and ゜ turns the H row into p (ハ → パ).

Look at their shape and reading. If in doubt, check the dakuten section of the katakana chart.

Go over the shape with your finger, mouse or a stylus. It is free practice: it does not count towards passing the lesson.
