well,for first at learnibg japanese i started in an application for learning languages. I think you all know duolingo,right? i started learning there,and only after completing at least at one lesson a day for 2 months I started learning with a japanese native-speaking tutor. I guess if i came to tutor with any skills of japanese it would be harder to teach me anything!
but duolingo is an app only to start you actual language learning journey. it’s only for basic knowledge and just to start learning. we can’t be definetly sure if any information there is systematised or true. then i got an English-japanese kanji dictionary — to make sure I remember everything. and some apps to improve my hearing.
— good luck in learning💓
