Hello Everyone,
In this new Japanese lesson, you will learn 5 new hiragana characters: かきくけこ.
いこう! [ikou] /let’s go!/

But before we go any further, do you remember our previous hiragana?
あいうえお
If not, I’d suggest you go through the first lesson again. Repetition is the key to success.
For the exercises, as I previously indicated, you can either use a notebook with a square grid (grids of above 1cm, 1/2 inch are nice to start) like the one you may have used at elementary school, or print-out one of the sheets linked below.
