Why I chose to study Japanese

hey! my name is Mirai Doshi. I am from India.
I chose to study japanese because I lived there for 5 years as a child but never learnt how to speak the language. My father also speaks Japanese fluently and I find the language fascinating and interesting whenever I hear him speak it.
I am really enjoying the class so far. However there are somethings I am having difficulty with. I have trouble memorizing the hiragana characters. I find them very complicated and simillar to each other. I often confuse them especially so, wa and ne. Other than that I am looking forward to learning how to say a couple of more things like verbs and particle so I can say some more complex sentences.
