I have always loved Pokemon, enjoyed Yu-Gi-Oh!, and have had an interest in Anime. These things have always drawn me to the Japanese language, but I have always felt it too difficult to learn. Two days ago, I started studying the Hiragana and memorized about ninety-percent of it. The problem is when I try to pronounce words using the characters. I feel like the average American high-schooler trying to read English (sometimes I think that I am surrounded by class mates who just don't have the drive or ability to learn). I was wondering if, possibly, I was taking too quick of a dive into the language, or maybe not enough? I am having difficulty reading Hiragana (just pronunciation), but I am wondering how long it will take me to get to a comfortable pace in reading? I would also like to know if there are some really good methods to learn other parts of the language, like Katakana (I really hope i'm saying that right), and Kanji aswell as cementing Hiragana into my brain. I would appreciate any help :) I also apologize if my main question/statement is unclear, because I am having difficulty tracing my thoughts back to it myself :P Thank you to anyone who could help me. -Celebiii
