Cafe is the 4th skill (assuming read left to right) in the Japanese language course. It has 3 lessons and teaches some words for foods and katakana.
Grammar Notes[]
Katakana[]
The writing system katakana is mainly used for words borrowed from other languages. Like hiragana, each letter represents a syllable. Hiragana and katakana can be mixed in the same sentence.
Topic[]
When you use は [wa] after a word, that word becomes the subject of the sentence. The rest of the sentence explains this.
Hiragana は is pronounced only as wa as a subject marker. Otherwise, it is pronounced as ha.
Questions[]
Adding か [ka] to the end of a sentence turns the statement into a question. Note that periods are still used!
