Japanese/Kana/Lessons/Katakana/Lesson 3

In this lesson you are going to learn how to read and write サ、シ、ス、セ、ソ. Adding two small lines called 濁 だく点 てん dakuten, but commonly known simply as 点々 てんてん tenten, meaning "two marks", causes clear sounds to change to their voiced sound. Thus, adding the 点々 てんてん tenten marks to サ、シ、ス、セ、ソ will produce ザ、ジ、ズ、ゼ、ゾ. サ sa A hand holds a piece of wood down as it's cut with a bow saw.
