Thanks for the reply.
I've only started using audiobook as i do primarily want to learn to speak Japanese first and foremost.
This will be more usseful during my visit which i am planning.
However i will go more in depth into the writing of Japanese soon.
I agree that using Romanji isn't a good way to go but i'm using it initially and then using my keyboard to type the pronunciation and it displays the symbols.
Just until i get used to seeing them.
I haven't looked at katakana yet. That is something i wasp lanning on going into tomorrow.
I am not very good at languages to be honest, but i excel at most other studies so it's my belief that i can do well at Japanese because i really want to learn mroe than anything and i think that will help me.
No spaces only for paragraphs. Thanks, i didn't realise that. I knew i was wrong to put spaces in but wasn't sure why.
Do you think it is worth studying Kanji at the beginning? Or leaving it until i've mastered Hiragana and Katakana first?
I've got a print out of the alphabets so i'm going to read it over and over every day until they stick in my head.
Also, i think if i actually write it out on paper everyday in full then it'll embed it in my memory. (hopefully)
I'll keep posing in this thread as i progress and require and information etc.
