カタカナ② タ〜ホ Katakana 2: ta to ho

Answer: 3 むずかしい

Line 1 says あさ。むずかしい テスト。 (Morning. A difficult test.)

Answer: 1 ちゃいろい

The last line says ちゃいろい セーター! (A brown sweater!) The coffee spilled, so the white sweater turned brown.

Answer: 2 to

ト is read to. ka is カ, ta is タ, and ho is ホ.

Answer: 4 ツ

tsu is ツ. It looks like シ (shi), but in ツ the two dots sit side by side at the top and the stroke goes from top to bottom. ソ is so, and ノ is no.

Answer: 1 ne

ネ is read ne, the same sound as hiragana ね. ホ is ho, タ is ta, and ニ is ni.

Answer: 3 fu

フ is read fu, as in ナイフ (knife). Be careful: ク (ku) looks similar.

Answer: 1 tenisu

テ is te, ニ is ni, and ス is su, so テニス is read tenisu (tennis).

Answer: 4 ノート

no is ノ, the long sound is ー, and to is ト, so nōto is ノート (notebook). ノト has no ー. ソ is so, and チ is chi.

Answer: 2 kōhī

コー is kō and ヒー is hī, so コーヒー is read kōhī (coffee). There are two ー marks, so two sounds are long.

Answer: 3 テスト

むずかしい (difficult) goes with テスト: "a difficult test." A knife, a sweater or a taxi is not something that is difficult.
