Advice for a beginner in Japanese I've already committed hirigana, katakana, and a handful of very basic Kanji to memory, and I can somewhat comfortably read things in kana, albeit pretty slowly, so far. I've also started learning some basic grammar and vocabulary, but I'm wondering if I'm focusing on the right stuff at the moment. I also just picked up a book from "Tuttle" called "Basic Japanese" and while I find it helpful, I feel like I need a better understanding of more basic vocabulary before I can make very effecient use of it. Does anyone know any good resources for learning the most important Japanese vocabulary? Or if there's something else that I should be giving more focus to at the moment? Maybe I should just stick with what the book has to teach for the time being despite not understanding much of the dialogs? Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
