Syllabus
  1. Typing ん correctly Before a vowel, the や row or the な row, ん must be nn (きんえん = kinnenn). Otherwise a single n is enough.
  2. Words with contracted sounds Practice words with contracted sounds until each one flows as a single movement.
  3. Words with small っ Words with small っ. Get used to the rhythm of the doubled consonant.
  4. Long marks and katakana words Katakana words with lots of long marks. ー is the hyphen key.
  5. Small kana in loanwords (ファ, ティ, ウェ) ファ = fa, フィ = fi, ティ = thi, ディ = dhi, ウィ = wi, ウェ = we, シェ = she, ジェ = je, チェ = che. To type a small kana on its own, put x or l in front (ぁ = xa or la).
