#hiraganaaditionalsoundchart

[rai-mitty]

Okie dokie, I can write these (Hiragana with dakuten " and handakuten °) along with a full hiragana chart but not by memory yet. Learning has kinda slowed due to divided attention of school papers, emails, and the holidays, but I'm not going to quit! I will get this!!! It's interesting to me how "ji" and "zu" are repeated. I found another chart where they were "di" and "do" we're used instead and got confused. Which is right? I'm pretty sure they're said a little differently (like a mix of the two) but for now I'm going with this chart and will pick it up for sure later. There are other characters with dakuten or handakuten but those are hardly used except in translations to other languages so not really necessary to learn right now. (I hate saying not necessary, but they really aren't for reading Japanese. Not for a beginner, at least.)
