Well at the moment I am learning the two basic alphabet charts of katakana and Hiragana. And I guess after that I will learn Dakuten/Hadakuten, yoon modifiers and then the double consonants.
Once I am done with that I was thinking of buying a children's manga that I can read to understand more japanese and also use to enjoy learning more. Is that a good idea? what should I learn or do afterwords?

the use of the particles and conjugating nouns, verbs etc. That will take awhile、I'm still doing it since I'm slow.

I ordered three volumes of manga just a couple days ago (Naruto volumes 1, 27, and 32) that will hopefully arrive soon so I can work on my reading speed while learning new words and kanji (hiragana are written next to the kanji so that if any kids reading it don't know the kanji, they can learn it because they already know the word itself). Kind of like how little kids know how to speak before they know how to write. Kids would know the word but might not have gotten to the kanji yet.

I would suggest that you learn kanji along with kana. once you are able to recognize most of the hiragana and katakana. if you want I can pm you on kanji. thats what I"m teaching my students rite nao.

For simplicity sake, I find that it's easier to learn the Hirigana first, move on to katakana, and then go to kanji, but I'm still learning now. Lotus, it's a great idea to do something like that. The most helpful thing is to find something with Japanese kana (lessons, for example) that have the Romaji next to it so you can check yourself. The iPhones also have a Japanese setting for the keyboard if you have one. Ganbatte!

I wouldn't suggest her learning kanji along with hiragana and katakana because that's more advance. It can also be more difficult.

umm...learn hiragana first!!!! katakana and kanji can come later!!! I can suggest going to a school though. It's really helpful. Kanji you should learn last. It's very complicated and take a while to master.

I wouldn't suggest her learning kanji along with hiragana and katakana because that's more advance. It can also be more difficult. I agree with that, not to mention if one were to look at a number of kanji they'd find that many are actually formed by putting multiple kana or basic kanji together.

I agree with that, not to mention if one were to look at a number of kanji they'd find that many are actually formed by putting multiple kana or basic kanji together. Indeed it would be a better idea to learn to read and write in kana first now that I think about it but once she can read and write with skill, she should start kanji immidiately. I find that it's a lot more afective if you learn kanji right along. There is no reason to dump the huge job of learning Kanji at the advanced level. By studying Kanji along with new vocabulary from the beginning, the immense job of learning Kanji is divided into small manageable chunks and the extra time helps settle learned Kanji into permanent memory. In addition, this will help you learn new vocabulary, which will often have combinations of Kanji you already know. If you start learning Kanji later, this benefit will be wasted or reduced.

Japanese children begin studying kanji in first grade, but probably already know a few just from the world around them by then. There's no reason to put off studying kanji once you've mastered kana.
