Lesson 9 introduces you to the seconds and final group of tertiary (3rd) katakana characters, Ri, Gi, Zi, Bi, Pi + Ya, Yu and Yo. These are combinations of 2 characters, both of which you are hopefully familiar with. Take some time to try and remember the characters and their shape. Draw them a few times to help reenforce their shapes in your mind. At the moment, stroke order isn't important.
