I could not imagine starting my first course with an alphabet book, with strokes, it is like crab walking on strings, perhaps ready to fall and break into parts like humpty dumbty, oh my God, what is this?
This article may ease off the learning curves. I Tell you what, throw that Hiragana, katana alphabet book and focus on this direct learning method, no fuss.
Here is a scenario, you just bought a book with an awesome cover design, eager to open the book. You know what?
The first page highlighted the importance of Hiragana, katana, you look for a while, then your brain goes blank, the intel parts in your brain spit out, and you drop dead with blood oozing out from your nose. Yeah! That’s learning.
You will find that some of the students dead, body hang like computer and you can hear tooooot. Dead brain cells.
By just looking at the Hiragana, kanji Japanese alphabets, my mind blows out with screws and brain juice! Is there a simpler tip besides starring at the alphabets and poof, my brain locked out, and I must go to sleep for I just can’t take it. I used up my brain power! If I am a robot the battery gets drained and system hang. Oh know, I am stuck with a book like learning “A,B,C”. but wait, some of us may even struggle with Hiragana, and katana, but listen to what sponge bob says, “One year later!” “Two years later” his body drooping and eyes tired of too much learning. His head drop into the sand, frustrated. He said, “I can’t survive!” so, same again for new learners. because it is the wrong step of learning a foreign language.
By the way, I am here to Share my ninja techniques to speak Japanese.
You see, before taking a Japanese beginner course, most importantly, you need to have purpose which initiate passion to learn that language, that said, you must have a good reason.

The most important fundamental to start learning a foreign language course like Japanese or Arabic language is to build confidence. Start your learning program by speaking simple phrases. That is a secret tip, hey dude don’t tell anyone about this information, because if students know this secret, then the gurus would not make any money.
Next on the list is to speak Japanese daily and memorize words, you commit yourself in memorizing at least 5 or 10 words a day. Never memorize a full sentence. Okay, or else you become crazy! And interesting a sentence is built up of words and you just match them like playing Lego. Huh! Yes, take it easy dude. The more vocabulary you know the better you can enhance your language skills.
On your learning Japanese language quest, pick up the usage of Japanese grammar, read and understand the language concept. Here are some problems with learners, they speak grammar concepts such as using the pronoun, ‘watashi’ every time they meet people. Yes, that is correct, but some phrases not to be use in the real world. Why? Here is an interesting story. I was in Damascus, Syria, as a student in my university years. One day one of the college girls who just came for an overseas course went to a shop to buy some food. She said this in Arabic, ‘I want a fish inside a can’. In Arabic she said, ‘oreed samak fe (tin)’. The grocer was shocked, for he never sells any fish inside a (fig fruit). Then he said, (quessing) aha, ‘Ante toredeen sardeen’- it means in English, ‘you want sardine’. She said, yes. The lesson is, whatever you learn in a book may differ when speaking in public.
But at this moment, when you are just starting to learn a new foreign language, the best bet, is to speak and practice whatever vocabularies that you have learnt. Never wait, to finish learning Hiragana, kanji, and katana, by that time, you enter the grave. with eyes popped out of your head, and brain damage due to too much of this crazy alphabets.

That said, reading and writing is the fundamental of learning a foreign language course. You must know how to read and write Japanese. You cannot skip this!
