Writing

	Look closely how lines are tilted.
	All lines should be properly tilted.
	The first stroke should be long enough, and should be tilted properly.
	Tilt the lines 1 and 3 properly. Lines are not crossed, just touching.
	The two horizontal lines are parallel and have the same length.

Compared to Hiragana, Katakana letters have more straight lines, and the shape is simpler.

Some of Hiragana and Katakana letters look quite similar. Try not to mix up.
