I don't really know any hiragana or katakana except that one for "no," just because it's so common. But you pick up a lot of random words and phrases over twenty years of listening to shows and music.

If I can give you some advice, memorize the kana first. All of it, katakana and hiragana both. I have no idea what your aspirations are for Japanese, but knowing the kana is hugely useful, even if you're not planning on learning how to read. If's basically the building blocks of the language.

That's because classroom language-learning (especially at grade-school level) is generally awful and impractical. I did five years of French and I can remember, like, maybe three basic sentences. After my first year of Japanese study (a combination of self-study, lessons and conversation practice with a Japanese friend, and online courses), I could speak more Japanese than I could speak at the height of my French "fluency".

What are you using to learn?

I was using Duolingo for a while, but then my streak ended when I went on a trip (timezones change, I guess?), and I kinda gave up afterwards.

Watashi wa Kevin

You would just Kevin desu. I like that you learned the Japanese words that you probably already knew because according to other users here theyre now English words because weve been using them so long. At what point they become our words, I have no idea. Would love to know exactly how many minutes of usage that requires.

I live in Canada and wouldnt know how to ask. Although I can ask in Spanish because I have friends from El Salvador.

Apparently totemo sounds robotic. I was watching some videos on YouTube by a girl from Osaka, and she explained this. I only used it to start because my ex told me to, as it was probably the easiest way to explain very to me.

Oh that might be why it didnt make sense to them.

Now it makes sense. I wasnt expecting a mondegreen-type thing so I wasnt hearing it. Now its more funny that I got them to read it out loud in front of everyone at the restaurant.

It says saku maika or something (sp).

Is TC just learning how to say the words or is he learning their associated kanji? And yes, I said Sarcasthma san.

Yeah, kanji can be a pain when it comes to knowing which reading you should go with.

"Suki" is just for liking something, whether it's a person, an object, a hobby, etc.

"I would like ~" means you want something, so the easiest way to translate that kind of phrase would be use the conjugation on a verb.
