Katakana : ta-chi-tsu-te-to

Let's take a look at the T's. You may want to make flashcards to practice by.


- ta - as in TOm boy
it looks like an invisible TOm boy hitting a TAmborine (the American pronunciation of Tamborine is off a little, but say it with 'tah' pronunciation)


チ - chi - as in CHEEze
NOTE: This is another 'irregular' pronunciation. You would think it would be 'ti' but it is 'CHI'. It is a CHEAp and CHEEzy umbrella turned inside out.


ツ - tsu - as in caT SOUp
It looks like someone smiling at such a ridiculous mnemonic as caT SOUp. Don't confuse this with ・#92; (so)


テ - te - as in TApe
It looks like someone is putting down a roll of TApe.


ト - to - TOE
Someone is kicking something with their TOE.


Write them out 10 times a day and soon you will get it. To
aid memorization, make silly associations to go
with them. You can use the above mnemonics or you can make your own!
