Learning a new language can be a thrilling and rewarding experience. If you’re starting your journey with Japanese, here are some essential tips to keep in mind.

Start with Hiragana and Katakana

Before diving into complex sentences, it’s crucial to learn the two basic Japanese scripts: Hiragana and Katakana.

Hiragana is used for native Japanese words.
Katakana is used for foreign words and names.

There are plenty of resources online to help you master these scripts.

Embrace Kanji Gradually

Kanji, the characters borrowed from Chinese, can be daunting. Start with basic and commonly used Kanji. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Practice Daily

Consistency is key in language learning. Even 15 minutes of daily practice can make a significant difference.

Use Language Apps

Apps like Duolingo, Anki, or Memrise are great for on-the-go learning and can be very effective in reinforcing your skills.
