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

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
