Ok, so let’s do some hiragana (ひらがな) and katakana (かたかな) practice. First I’ll give you all the characters you need to do for this exercise. Just remember that the hiragana (ひらがな) is writen first. The katakana (かたかな) is provided after the hiragana (ひらがな)

a – (あ)(ア)

i – (い)(イ)

u – (う)(ウ)

e – (え)(エ)

o – (お)(オ)

ka – (か)(カ)

ki – (き)(キ)

ku – (く)(ク)

ke – (け)(ケ)

ko – (こ)(コ)

sa – (さ)(サ)

shi – (し)(シ)

su – (す)(ス)

se – (せ)(セ)

so – (そ)(ソ)

Here’s the assignment: write these words into hiragana (ひらがな) in the comments section. The only rule is this: you can do any of the words, but each person can only do a maximum of 5 words. There is no minimum. 1) ai 2) ue 3) akai 4) eki 5) sushi 6) sake 7) koi 8) iie 9) aoi 10) sai

and write these words into katakana (かたかな) in the comments section. The only rule is this: you can do any of the words, but each person can only do a maximum of 5 words. There is no minimum.
