Learning Time

Today for English we got to start off the lesson with 10-15 minutes of free time to learn about a topic of our choice. I choose to send my 15 minutes practicing my Hiragana, which is a style of Japanese writing. I take Japanese as one of my choice subjects for this year. Last year we had Japanese class as well for half a year. I was revising my Japanese at home (last year) when I started to realize a pattern in the script. It seemed that with each romaji, there was an equivalent character for it. I took my findings online and I found the different types of Japanese writing. I decided to learn Hiragana out of the three (Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji) scripts since it seemed to appear the most in Japanese writing. At the back of my Japanese book, I wrote down the script and the romaji next to it. Once I practiced it a bit, I went online to find a Hiragana quiz and found this one. I'm pretty sure that I got comfortable with it and could go through the whole quiz without getting on wrong on the first night. The quiz had definitely helped me so much improve my knowledge on Hiragana. I did a different quiz today for the 15 minutes and it was this one instead. In about 10 minutes, I got 467 right and 19 wrong. Some that I think I got wrong a couple of times were sa and chi (さ、ち). There are two ways of writing sa and the one that was on the quiz was just chi flipped around so sometimes it was hard to see the difference. 

(sa)

 (chi)

The other ones that I got mixed up were ki and ke (き、け). Although the writing is obviously different from each other, it was just the romaji that I often get confused with. I couldn't remember if it was the k with the e or i. 

This was the result of the test I did-
