For one coming from a Roman alphabet learning to read and write Japanese, one should first learn romaaji, then hiragana/katakana, then kanji.

HI Raiza-san!

Personally, I disagree.

I hate romaji very much. Just put before me regular Japanese in front of me any day, and I am very happy!

It is far better to just get used to reading the characters from the start, because you will never read romaji in Japan. Just practice writing over and over the characters, and it will soon sink in. Check out my language links over in Mystic's Japanese Language thread. Those should help some.

Ohhh how I do not like romaji... Not sure why, either. I just do. haha!
