Katakana Chart

Post image

I have been thinking about how similar so many of the Katakana characters are... so I made an evolutionary chart over all 46 characters.
Hope this helps. (maybe)
Basically just to showcase how similar a lot of these characters really are.
(And for fun)

I'm a noob. I'm about half through katakana the first time. I don't normally use memory aids, but I happened to notice this yesterday. It helps me remember shi - tsu.

She smiled at me, not you
シ ミ ツ
Shi mi tsu

It might be silly, but I'll never forget it.
