How to learn hiragana
It made me
intrigued 
"One step closer to writing Japanese"
How I did it: I wrote each character at least 50 times. The first five times I wrote a new character I would make it as perfect as possible in order to develop good habits with stroke orders and all.
Resources: I found this site very helpful: http://japaneselanguageculturefood.com/japanese-language-hiragana.htm
