This lesson adds 15 more hiragana characters to your repertoire — the T row, N row, and H row. The T row has two important irregular readings, and the H row introduces the unique Japanese "f" sound.
The T row has two irregular readings: ち (chi) and つ (tsu).
| Character | Romaji | Pronunciation Tip | Example Word |
|---|---|---|---|
| た | ta | "tah" as in "taco" | たまご (tamago) — egg |
| ち | chi | "chee" as in "cheese" (NOT "ti") | ちず (chizu) — map |
| つ | tsu | "tsoo" — like "cats" without the "ca" | つき (tsuki) — moon |
