Hi marshall, i simply love all of your efforst, buy i have a question. in this lesson it’s said that ラ リ ル レ ロ’s sounds are la, li ,lu, le, lo respectively but in other sites of learning and the katakana song says that the proper sounds are ra, ri, ru, re, ro respectively al well, well then, right now i’m confused. could you sir clear my view pls ? :C thanks.

Omg , thanks marshall <3. it help me.
Omg the Loaf mnemonic is a total winner! It’s so cute! 🤣
🤣🤣
I think マルク might be “mark” instead of “marc” (I didn’t even know marc was an English word, apparently it’s the leftovers from winemaking).
I’m surprised you didn’t include スライム, although I don’t know if you’re a fan of Dragon Quest or not.
There are so many katakana words, so I can’t include every word🤣🤣
That’s fair 😅
is フロント supposed to be in this set?
i originally read this as fu-ro-so-to, but the “so” seemed wrong. i believe it is actually “n”? isn’t n is supposed to be the last katakana lesson?
