i actually can't speak japanese, it's more of being at a level where i can read and understand.

i started learning around elementary school age from a friend who was fluent, but she moved away so i've gradually been teaching myself as well.

i guess the best way to start is by learning the japanese writing system, beginning with syllables (hiragana and katakana ) and then working your way into forming words and basic vocabulary.

for me it also helps by watching anime episodes raw before watching it with subtitles, since you can catch words you don't know in japanese and then connect it to english after reading the subs.

hope that helped :)
