I want to just start by saying that I've only ever learned languages like english, French, and Spanish which all use a common alphabet and I have also spent very little time studying Japanese so far.
I have a lot of trouble remembering the symbols and I was wondering if there was any way to identify and group the characters based off what type of sound they make?
For example, は (ha) and け (ke) both have the same downwards pointing arrow but don't sound even slightly similar and I havnt yet been able to identify any patterns or similarities between characters and their sounds.
Really any way to group them would really help me remember, thanks to everyone in advanced for the replies.
