Hiragana 3, Week 3

Hi there! So, it's been another 7 days and it's time for a new lesson.   As with the previous lessons, we will be focusing on learning the Hiragana.   You may notice that I don't always teach you in the same order as shown on the chart, and that is because we are not here to memorize one chart, but to learn how to recognize these characters in any context.

Going along with that, we are going to learn the H-series, the M-series, and the R-series this week.

This week is the LAST WEEK that we will be focusing ONLY on Hiragana.  There are only six characters left to learn after this, and so next week, we will have our first lesson in the basic grammar, and we will learn the 'wa' topic marker particle, and the verb 'desu' and it's conjugations.  After that, we will learn some more about hiragana, including dicritic marks and combinations, but for now, I want to teach you guys at least a few phrases and basic sentence structure, so no one feels frustrated thinking, 'Okay but when are we going to learn to SAY THINGS?!?'   Above all, I want this to be educational AND useful, AND as fun as I can make it for you all.  : D

So anyway, I think you guys know how this goes by now.
