Katakana
"ア" is
similar in pronunciation to
"a" in English and
"아" in Korean.

While Hiragana is round and curved,
Katakana is straight and angular.
The two resemble each other.
It's great to learn them by comparing!

The "アイウエオ" (a-i-u-e-o) that we'll learn from now on
is called the "ア" row.

It may look complicated now,
but with a little practice,
you'll memorize it easily!

Oh, right! There's one thing you should know
before learning Katakana.
I almost forgot!
