tenten

A diacritic (゛) used with Japanese kana to mark a consonant as voiced

Some of the consonants in Japanese can be hardened by adding “grammatical markers” called “tenten” and “maru” in Japanese. They are added to the hiragana/katakana characters. The tenten look a bit like speech marks, and maru is a circle.

conch

a tropical marine mollusc with a robust spiral shell which may bear long projections and have a flared lip

Blow out forcefully through your lips, causing them to vibrate. Use your stomach muscles to blow the air out of your lungs through your mouth, keeping your lips close together. Your lips should vibrate slightly, causing the conch to make a noise like a horn.
