K10 ッ and combinations: Words in Katakana

Before you start

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

Just like in hiragana: a small ッ doubles the next consonant (チケット, chiketto) and small ャ, ュ, ョ form one syllable with the kana before (シャ = sha).

Look at their shape and reading. If in doubt, check the yōon 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.

You practise them in kana; underneath you can see how they are usually written.

Two rounds: first you read each word and type its romaji, then you pick what it means. No romaji on screen.
