LinguaForty-six signs, and the door is open
You can now read every hiragana sign there is. That is not a small thing: hiragana is what children’s books, grammar endings and every dictionary entry are written in, and no Japanese text exists that does not use it. The signs you know are the ones you will use for the rest of the language.
The first sign of the first three rows. Say each row from it, top to bottom.
And three from the end of the set, including the one that is not a syllable.
| Row | Signs |

| あ | あ い う え お |

| さ | さ し す せ そ |
| た | た ち つ て と |
