    Japanese is something I’m still learning.
    Spanish, enough to talk about most things, but it isn’t all that practiced >.>
    Thank you~

    But I want to praise that! Japanese is hard despite sounding beautiful! I took up translation for a week and it was hard! (MTL)

    Well, going from English to Japanese is pretty much trying to do the opposite of what you know. It’s a bit easier if you know spanish, but not by much.
    Once the brain learns to accept how Japanese flows, it gets a lot easier. Getting to that point is hard~

    The first thing you need to do is learn the kana. hiragana and katakana. From there, simple phrases along with particles. “Japanese demystified” is a good start for learning particles. You should also try watching “misa ammo.” Her explanations on understanding grammar points are excellent. At the same time, slowly build up your vocab with simple sentences. Around then is a good time to use duo.

    Hiragana
    Katakana (hiragana but with different symbols)

    Do they all have same sounds atleast for hiragana and katakana? Thank you!

    They do, the only difference is in how they are written. Katakana tends to be used more for words that were incorporated from other countries though

    Does it include words like hamburger? Since that is English is that the basic idea of katakana?

    I am a bit of a teacher, but I think its more my personality type than my occupation.

    Yes, it includes hamburger. Banana too~

    Duo works better as a supplement instead of a stand alone.
