ra ラ ri リ ru ル re レ ro ロ

Use the examples below to practice the stroke order for the new characters. For each character, write the character repeatedly until you complete an entire row on your sheet of paper before moving onto the next character. As you write, pronounce the character out loud so that you associate the stroke order with the sound.

ra  ラ

ri  リ

ru  ル

re  レ

ro ロ

After completing a line for each character, we will write the five characters in sequential order. The example below shows what your progress for this lesson should look like:

Flashcards

Create your flashcards for ラ　リ　ル　レ　ロ. You should now be testing yourself on 40 characters:

ア　イ　ウ　エ　オ

カ　キ　ク　ケ　コ

サ　シ　ス　セ　ソ

タ　チ　ツ　テ　ト

ナ　ニ　ヌ　ネ　ノ

マ　ミ　ム　メ　モ

ハ　ヒ　フ　ヘ　ホ

ラ　リ　ル　レ　ロ

Test yourself on writing the Katakana characters with the romaji side of the flashcards face up. Shuffle and repeat this until you can successfully write all the characters without referring to learning material for 3 rounds.

Great job! Head on over to the next lesson: ya ヤ　yu ユ　yo ヨ　wa ワ　wo ヲ　n ン
