Each character gets a row: a large model with the stroke order marked in red, three gray copies to trace, four boxes to write on your own, and the model again at the end to check against. The example words are loanwords, like γ’γ‘γͺγ« (amerika, America) and γ¨γ’γ³γ³ (eakon, air conditioner), since that’s where you’ll see katakana most.
Along with the standard chart (δΊει³), the voiced sounds (ζΏι³) and the combination sounds (ζι³), katakana gets a few pages of its own. γ·, γ, γ½ and γ³ look almost the same, so one page shows how stroke order and direction tell them apart. Another covers the long-vowel mark γΌ and the small γ. A reference page at the back lists the extra sounds katakana uses for other languages, like γγ‘ and γ΄γ‘. The last page is the full chart. If you’re learning hiragana too, it has its own book that works the same way.
This is a printed book, made to order when you buy it. It’s 48 pages at 5.5 Γ 8.5 in (14 Γ 21.6 cm). It also comes with a printable PDF of the practice pages, in Letter and A4, so you can print fresh sheets once the book fills up.
