Last week we finished learning the katakana table: Just like with hiragana, some of these katakana characters have a different pronunciation when combined with the diacritics dakuten ( ゛) and handakuten ( ゜). If you'd like to refresh your memory, please refer to my hiragana lessons on these sounds: Diacritic Lesson 1, Diacritic Lesson 2, and the lesson that features the last of the characters that take the Dakuten and those that take the Handakuten. Remember that although the katakana characters are written differently than the hiragana characters, the sounds they make are the same. Okay, let's go over the katakana characters that take the dakuten and handakuten: Here are some words that use these katakana characters: ビール biiru = beer (bee roo) ゲーム geemu = game (gehee moo) ゴール goru = goal (goh roo) ダンス dansu = dance (dahn soo) デパート depato = department store (deh pah toh) パソコン pasokon = personal computer (pah soh con) There are even more katakana sounds blends. And we'll go over them in the next post. For now, here's the Japanesepod101.com video which reviews the katakana we've learned so far and these katakana characters that take the diacritic marks. (Yes, it's the same video from last week. It's always good to review, so I'm posting it again.) That's it for this week. Next week I'll have the last of the katakana sound blends I'll be going over. Until then, mata ne! Oops! I almost forgot this week's free practice writing sheet:
There you go. Okay, see you next time!
