i need help, recently i have decided that i wanted to move to Japan if i could, and currently i have started learning Japanese. Does anyone have tips to help me learn, and if so can you tell me please. If you can can you also give tips on things to not do and whats respectful. Have a great day

I have tips!! I am also learning Japanese. It's frustrating. (And I also wanna move to Japan :>)

Explanation:

Anyways, I use Duolingo most of the time, but I also use flashcards to learn kanji  - search Hiragana quiz - to learn the Katakana and Hiragana (it doesn't have any kanji, since there's so many.)

I learned that there's different things you say when being respectful (obviously). So like, if you are saying "Thank you", There is three different ways.

1: Arigatou gozaimasu (Formal, something you say to strangers, boss, teacher, etc. Someone of a higher position than you pretty much.)

2: Arigatou (Basic, kind of formal but not really.)

3: Doumo (Something you say to a friend, or a parent, and this is informal, so I wouldn't say it to a teacher unless you are saying "Doumo arigatou gozaimasu" which is "Thank you very much."

Something else to keep in mind is the sentence structure. I know just a couple weeks ago and I started learning longer sentences, I couldn't get them right at all. Basically, I just think "Rice eat" or "I rice eat" now lol.

-- I use this to read manga (just search bilingual manga, I'm sure it'll come up), and you just pick a story, and when you read it, you can change it back and forth between English and Japanese.

That's all I have for you!! Have a good day! I really hope this helps you.
