My big goal is to learn Japanese, but “learn Japanese” is a huge and overwhelming goal! So I decided to make it more manageable and split it up. Currently, my goals are to learn 1) hiragana, 2) katakana and 3) kanji. These are the three writing systems used in Japanese. I figure I can learn the first two quicker, since there’s 46 symbols in each and there are over 2,000 common kanji.
Cocurrently, I’m going to begin learning basics of Japanese grammar and vocabulary.
Off to the races! I’ll let you know how I do.
If anyone has tips, lemme know. I also ordered this book as an early holiday present for myself. I need mnemonics!
