Hiragana-Katakana (Y's & W's)

Almost there! Just a few more stretches. It's time for the Y’s and W’s.

Training #1: Reading

Read this mash-up of Hiragana-Katakana. I recommend doing this periodically (daily). Extend this exercise by making your own mash-up and reading it out-loud.

やユワゆヲわ     ユよヤヨをゆ     ヨやヤよヲを     ユわゆワユよ     わヨヲやヤよ     
をユやわゆよ     ヨやワをヤゆ     わよヲをゆワ     よわヤやをユ     ゆヨよわヲや     
よをゆやワユ     よヲわワをヨ     やわゆをユよ     ヨワをヤゆワ     よワわユゆを     
わヤワゆヤや     ワユヤよゆユ     わヲをユよヤ     わをゆヲわよ     ユよヲゆヤや


Training #2: Writing

Write this mash-up of romaji in Hiragana and Katakana. Once again, I recommend doing this periodically (daily). Extend this exercise by making your own romaji mash-up and writing it out in Hiragana and Katakana.

ya wo wa yu yo      wo ya yo yu wa     wo ya wa yo ya      yu wa wo yu ya      yo wa ya yo wo      yu yo ya wa wo      


Training #3: Revision

Read this mash-up of Hiragana-Katakana.

やワホケゆモ     ハわゆヘみを     とやをユまよ     ヲロヨフルヤ     ワユてモわハ     
ヒるわワをリ     ワヨめニユロ     をモねらよヲ     むよワムをゆ     ヤれむワヒヲ     
わヤやりそレ     マよろれんヤ     ヲをヨホヤリ     ヨろスをヲれ     めよヲろネわ     
ユロもツやマ     をロとヤみろ     ゆマフらわゆ     んよめムゆル     ラやをりヨろ


Write this mash-up of romaji in Hiragana and Katakana.

ra e me yu ro      ri ya no su a     re ka n yo sa      ru mi i fu wa      wo te mi ho re      u yo wa ki te      n mo su ka ri       



P.S. We're going to ignore 'wi' and 'we' since these characters are recent additions and are hardly ever used in the language.
