Japanese come

I've been learning Hiragana for a few days. How long should I be practicing these things. Should I just go straight ahead for Katakana and learn them both at the same time or do it sepearately?

do not stop practicing. You need to go back to hiragana once or twice every week for almost 6 months so that ur brains stores it in deep memory. Move to katakana after 1 week. then do the same till ur confident. Then move to kanji and more complex and repeat process.

Kanji is difficult even for Japanese, so you should learn hiragana perfectly first. After fully understanding ,Kanji practice workbook for 6.7 year olds would be effective. This is because it allows you to acquire a minimum understanding of the kanji characters that are primarily used in Japan.

Thank you so much :D
I should learn Katakana after Hiragana too then?

Japanese is such a hard language lol
Took a few Duolingo lessons and immediately gave up
For the Japanese here, I have a question : Why do y'all have 3 writing systems? I'm not being rude or anything, just curious.

Pretty sure Katakana is used for international words. Like in games it's used quite a lot or just English sounding words (Correct me if I'm wrong). And Kanji got carried over to Japan from China if I'm not mistaken.

If you are going to converse with Japanese people or sightsee in Japan, you do not need katakana. In fact, most of the Japanese language is written in kanji and hiragana, so katakana is not widely used.

First of all, Japanese hiragana and katakana are made from kanji. Hiragana is a corruption of Kanji, and Katakana is a partial derivation of Kanji. The reason why kanji are still used in Japan is that, unlike in English, there are no spaces between words in Japanese. Therefore, kanji and hiragana are used to make it easier to distinguish between words when looking at a sentence.

It is useful to remember hiragana and a few Japanese words such as konnichiwa, arigato, etc.

For real I really appreciate you helping haha

if you just want to communicate in Japanese or understand anime or something, you really don't need to learn kanji, just hiragana would be fine.
but if you want to read and write, you need kanji

The only wholesome vlrgg thread

it's easier to learn both at the same time, one day is enough for hiragana and katakana
