If the letters of the ya line are normal size, they are pronounced as separate syllables. If the letters are smaller they get joined joined together with the other syllable to make one syllable.
Try reading it forwards and backwards and upwards and downwards.

Preparatory lesson 3: K1 (Basic Katakana)
If you talk to a man in a language he understands,
that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to
his heart
- Nelson Mandela
This course will help you use the book
Japanese For Everyone
by Susumu Nagara
This is the first of two lessons lesson to teach you basic Katakana before you start the book.
Week 3. Preparation 1. Learning basic Katakana
The good news #1: All the sounds are exactly the same as for
hiragana. They are all still in the same order. You do not have to learn
new sounds.The good news #2: Japanese love using foreign words so you do not have to learn a new Japanese word for hamburger, orange juice, coffee etc.
The bad news #1: They try to make the sounds of these foreign words fit with their basic syllables so you may not recognize English words when you hear them.
The bad news#2: You have to learn a new writing system for the writing of foreign words. Katakana is usually used to write words that are not Japanese like Westerner’s names or food like hamburgers and orange juice or foreign company names like McDonald’s etc.
Strategy for doing this:
- Remind yourself you already conquered hiragana. You can do this!
- Enjoy it. Have a sense of humor and laugh at the new sounds of English words.
- Skip it and go straight to the textbook now picking up a few phrases of Katakana at a time in context (recommended method).
It’s called Japanese For Everyone Here it is: http://alturl.com/dbcvw
I have both writing systems here as preparation for the truly motivated learners but it may be too much for many. Feel free to go to your textbook now and begin and to use this study of katakana Lessons 3 and 4 as a two week break from regular study only after you have completed 5 chapter of the book.
Either way 頑張って＝Ganbatte = Give it your best!
一Ichi Step 1 Day 1: Listen and repeat
Well then, for all of you devoted linguists who stayed, here is your video once more. This time concentrate on the lower line: http://alturl.com/wwuww Keep watching and repeating the sounds as you read along from the video until you recognize the sounds of the letters and can read them easily. Only focus on the second line (Katakana). This is important!
Now you know the sounds we need to learn the real letters. Try reading the letters in Katakana

Step 3 Day 3
Try to write your name in Japanese. You may need to add vowels to make a syllable or to drop some letters or to choose the nearest equivalent sound from the Japanese syllables.
Listen to the sound of your name and try to get as close as you can to that using Japanese syllables. It’s about the sound, not about the letters.
John Smith is reduced to the syllables jo n su mi su
Mary Black becomes me ri bu ra ku
Spanish names are easier:
María González becomes ma ri a go n sa re su
Enrique Iglesias becomes en ri ke i gu re se a su
Note the problems with si, ti, tu, hu, th and other sounds that do not exist in Japanese.
For now be creative and try to get the closest sounds you can for your name.
My name in Katakana:___________________________________________________
