akasatanahamayarawa

This is Hiragana chart. The first basic you should learn. You really should memorize hiragana as soon as possible. Do not use romaji to learn Japanese. You won't go far. Romaji is for learning hiragana. That's all. 

 What should I learn?

 Learn how to read,write and pronounce hiragana correctly. You can refer to the right bar of this blog under "Interesting site: Learn Hiragana" to learn the stroke order and sound. 

Learning the stroke order is important because later you are going to use the same skill to write kanji.

Please practice to write it down on paper because that's the fastest way to memorize it.

There is another technique I want to share with you. 

Look at the top vertical line of the chart : あいうえお or aiueo.

Then look at the left vertical row :  あかさたなはまやらわ　or akasatanahamayarawa.

Please memorize this. The rest is easy.  After a: aiueo, ka: kakikukeko. Next is sa: sashisuseso and so on. It will help you to memorize the order of hiragana and trust me, you won't forget hiragana easily.  This is very useful because you'll need to know hiragana order to find word in Japanese dictionary.
