Thanks !!!
You are welcome! If you have any questions, Feel free to ask me in the forum!
How can I differentiate between し and ち ❓
you mean the pronunciation?
yes .. it’s very much similar and almost identical .. And what about in words and sentences how can I tell which is which ?
し：sounds like “she”
ち：sounds like “cheap”（the “che” part）
ok that helps .. much thanks
I can’t believe I’m finally learning japanese. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
かく すき !!!!
For the “Reading” column at the end, I would read those as the sounds of the letters correct? So “blood” would be pronounced as /chi/ and “father” would be pronounced as /chichi/?
Yes!
How can I ask questions in the forum
By commenting like you just did lol
Why is 土 (tsuchi) pronounced like (to/do) in Google translate?
Please search onyomi and kunyomi in google.
Having romaji with this vocabulary would be good ? It’s makes things lil bit easier
Finished!
