Modified Sounds 2 - Youon

In this lesson you will learn the pronunciation of twenty one more sounds, from kya to nyo.

This lesson covers twenty one compound sounds, so called youon sounds. The youon sounds are made of the sounds ki, shi, chi, ni, hi, mi or ri that are changed to end with either ya, yu or yo. The modification is written in hiragana and katakana with a small ya, yu or yo character after the main character.
