This confuses me.
Ok hello I have one question so far I hope I can get an answer, It's about this word - Wa = は but when put in front does it turn to a Ha? And not a Wa? like - Introduction = はじめに = Hajimeni? right so why is it an Ha in this word and not a Wa like Wajimeni.

Well は is always ha and only becomes 'wa' when it is used as a particle eg. わたし は。 it also becomes a wa sound in certain words like 'konichiwa' 'こんにちは‘ as konnichiwa was originally 'as for this day'. Its a set phrase and the は is a particle in this word.

I agree with Jessica. When it is a particle which is used after the subject, it's written は and it's read WA. When it is a part of one word, it's written and read HA.
Ex.) HA: はじめまして(nice to meet you)、はし(chopsticks / bridge)、は(leaf)、はな(flower / nose)
これはさくらのはなです。--> kore wa sakura no hana desu.
わたしははしをつかいます。--> watashi wa hashi wo tsukai masu.
*は after これ and わたし is a particle, so it's pronounced WA.
I hope this was helpful.
