Five rows behind you
Twenty-five signs: the vowels and four rows built on them. Half of hiragana is already yours, and the half you have is the half that appears most often. Before the second half, check the three signs that do not read as the table promises.
The three exceptions, side by side. Two of them are written in a single stroke.
And two signs that beginners mix up: both have a loop, and only one has a dot.
