>how the fuck sentences actually work
read a grammar guide, you won't be coming out of it knowing it all of course since you need the practice, but that also means that you're not expected to remember the grammar properly and immediately

the kanas are what they are, each symbol is a syllable
think of kanji not as words but visual representation of concepts
each kanji is composed of smaller parts (radicals), they help create meaning to each one of them, for example 好き (suki, to like something), the kanji 好 you see that represents that idea of "like" is composed of the radicals 女 and 子, which means respectively "woman" and "child", these which are kanji on their own as well.
I'm just saying this because at the start it all feels like a bunch of random lines but being aware that you can break down them helps quite a bit. People like to say that radicals are the building blocks to Kanji.
eventually you get to kanji that are composed of other kanji, for example Korone just did a tongue twister stream

早is the kanji that represents "fast"
口 represents "mouth"
言葉 represents "word/speech"
早口言葉 is tongue twister
it's like there's a bunch of building blocks that become building blocks as well and brick by brick you keep building your vocabulary
>i cant even learn kata
I went fuck it and started my deck without fully knowing katakana, the deck I'm using has lots of loan words so I'm just learning on the go
because the big majority of loan words are in english and through the "this syllable is read like this" repetition, it just ends up sticking.
