Hiragana or Katakana. Not Kanji at the beginning. I would recommend that you start with learning Hiragana first. Japanese kids star with Hiragana too. However it's also true that some Engish-speaking people start studying from Katakana since English speaking people are familiar with Katakana. (The pronounciation of True English word and Japanese-adopted English word are so different though) You can learn and practice kanji in our learning center. http://www.japanesepod101.com/learningcenter/reference/introduction Well..

You said using "san" among very, very good friends would be inappropriate and would create a sense of distance. When I listen to JPOD podcasts, I'm a little confused. Peter-san has co-workers, Yoshi-san, Take-san, Natsuko-san, but, as with us Americans, he wants to leap into instant friendship. That's the way we are:shock: Could you explain the relationship between Peter-san and his jpod colleagues and why should he say "san" to them? Thanks. Jonas-san,
