Hello I am Michelle and I am 21 years old and living in the Netherlands. Studying Japanese is my priority and I really enjoy learning the language, including the writing system. I am very interested in it and am eager to learn more. Any help is very much appreciated. I also take an interest in Chinese and in Korean and I'd like to explore those languages a little more. I watch both Korean and Chinese drama from time to time. I can somewhat read 한굴 and I recently started to learn how to read 汉字, but I don't know that much yet. I enjoy learning languages and I especially appreciate it when people use their own language a lot so that I can learn. Therefore do not hesitate to talk to me in 日本語(漢字、ひらがな、カタカナ), 한굴 and 汉字. I might have to use a dictionary a lot, but I will do my best : ) Also feel free to tell me if I make any grammar or vocabulary mistakes. If my mistakes are pointed out I can make a note of it and it will help me remember. I am a little shy when it comes to actually using the language in the form of speech and hope you'll be patient with me when it comes to this. こんにちは、オランダからのミシェルです。21歳です。 日本語を勉強しています。また、韓国語や中国語も時々勉強します。 日本語で誤りがあれば訂正して下さい。ありがとうございます。 翻訳が好き、だから時々乙女ゲームを翻訳します。いつか日本語の漫画や日本映画を翻訳したい。 どうぞ宜しくお願いします、仲良くして下さい。

    This actually depends on what your reason is for learning Japanese. I agree with the other replies about hiragana, katakana and the first 100/200 kanji being essential to your learning. If you want to go study for the JLPT, or if you want to translate at some point, then it would be best to start with reading and writing first. If you are not planning on using Japanese much when it comes to reading or writing, then it could be better to focus on listening and speaking first. Personally, I would recommend doing all of it, even if you mainly focus on one or two aspects. For example, if you choose to focus on speaking and listening, you can also learn some extra kanji from time to time. Or if you learn to read and write, it could be very useful to study vocabulary as well as having some listening practice. However, I would recommend not to neglect any of the aspects completely.
