I know that feeling. It motivates me more to learn japanese.

It is definitely a morale booster when you can start reading things in Japanese. Something you might want to check out to help you memorize and test your hiragana and katakana knowledge is this page: [Real Kana](https://realkana.com/)
have you seen a picture of this one? チンポ
Hell yeah, that’s the end of the first step of your journey. There’s a lot of excitement like this ahead of you
I felt that way too….then I was like, “what the hell does it mean!?!” lol!
And thus began my frustration with reading Japanese. I can now read several words, but now I have to look up their meanings.
Weird feeling to be able to read words, but not know what you’re reading about.
