Just wanted to correct those for you . I don't mean it to be a harsh correction either. Just be aware that spelling and pronounciation in Japanese are quite important

About learning Japanese, there is plenty of information online to help try get you started. But personally i recommend if at all possible try to go to classes if any are being held in your local or surrounding area. Sometimes schools or colleges have other courses or classes on weekends or evening times outside of regular college/class hours so try find more information regarding that (internet may be good, if your local schools or colleges have websites). Keep the look out for any notice boards in your area as well, maybe someone might be advertising classes or even one-to-one teaching

Best of luck
