    I've also just started learning Japanese and I decided to first learn Hiragana, then Katakana and after that I want to focus on the Kanji. So to learn Hiragana I'm using a online tool called 'WRTS', it's a dutch website that helps me to learn the Hiragana and how to pronounce them, besides that I'm also using a textbook what a must have is for learning Japanese called 'Genki'. The tool has been very successful for me. For Katakana I will probably do the same method as I'm doing right now for Hiragana. To learn Kanji I would recommend the book called 'Remembering the Kanji (RTK)', this book is a light in the dark to learn all the Kanji. I can recommend you the following two websites to learn, but there are of course many more that can be very useful: www.wrts.nl (This is a dutch website, so you'll have to translate it. But if you really want to use it, I can help you with it. http://www.memrise.com/

    It's kinda hard to explain on how to pronounce them (In my opionion) but, if you typ the ''R'' and the ''G'' in google translator and make it so you translate it from English to Dutch and then use the ''listen'' button you will hear how they are pronounced. You could also try to list to some words with the ''R'' and the ''G'' in them for example: Rare ronde ramen and Ga naar de gele weg. *Note that in the Netherlands, people use 2 different G's. The ''Soft'' G is often used by people who live in the southern part of the Netherlands, and the ''Hard'' G is often used for the people in the other regions.

    Confused with Kanji and Katakana/Hiragana. So I just started learning Japanese from the Genki textbooks but I'm already confused with the first explanation that I found in this book. The books says that the kanji ''本'' means ''Book'', but then it shows that you read it as ホソ or もと which are pronounced as ''hoso'' or ''moto'', if I got that right. But when I put ホソ or もと into a translator, they both show a different word instead of book and they are also pronounced different than the kanji ''本''. So what got me confused was how do I pronounce ''本'', how do I write it down or read it?
