An appreciated attempt nonetheless. In earnest, I wish I would have learned katakana prior to hiragana because it usually has more relavance in my video games, but I guess you have to learn the basics first.

I have probably even less experience than Afrobean, but I would list the ち as chi, the つ as tsu and を as o (the particle, not the letter). You would also have to further note that a small つ placed prior to a constant can denote the word contains a double consanant such as きつて, which would be transcribed as kitte, not kitsute (kitte means postage stamp if you really want to know).

And as Afrobean said, you really have to watch your vowels. Another note is in hiragana, う can also be used to indicate a vowel is long and does not actually add in a "u" to the word.

I can tell Afrobean is much proficient than I though, since he knows more about kanji. I can recognize numbers 1-10, the kanji for person/people, kanji for gatsu and nichi (month and date) and some of the elemental kanji that gets used in the days of the week and that's about it. It would probably be beneficial of others went over the information too since I'm not as advanced as others on the site.

But, yeah, nothing wrong with keeping a journal of what you're learning. It can help you out and if helps others out, nothing wrong with that.
