We've learned some Hiragana with simple 2 strokes. Now it's getting a bit complicated. The Hiraganas we are going to learn today has a line with both ORERU and MAGARU technique.

In the 2nd stroke, the brush stars from the top, then comes down, then ORERU to the right and the brush moves while drowing MAGARU line.
You can see how the letter had developed from the original Kanji.

As you see the 2nd stroke is similer to ち.
With the next one, the stroke with ORERU and MAGARU is almost the same as ち and ら, but it's the first stroke this time. Let's see.
ゆ【yu】
You see the hiragana below is writing ゆ with one stroke. That's why you have to start with the ORERU+MAGARU line before drawing /writing the "Top to Bottom" stroke. Some people write ゆ, just like this, too.
In the next lesson, we'll study a bit complicated ORERU + MAGARU line.
