I thought about doing a section in this blog about the basic of japanese language. So, you can learn along me about this complicated but beautiful idiom.
Let's start with basic.
Japanese language uses three alphabets: Hiragana, Katakana (both of 45 syllables and one consonant -N-) and Kanji.
Hiragana is the most used and that's really something you can't miss. This
alphabet is the first one to be learned by little kids. It is also used to transcribe Kanji's pronunciation.

About Kanji, I'll do a related post in a while but what you'll need to know is that there is no chart of Kanji. In Japanese there are about 4 hundred. You can start by learning some on your own here: tepetaklak.com/kanjis/kanji_index (it start with the simplest ones so rest assured).
So, the first most important step to learn japanese is to memorize these two charts. Good work!
