Why is it impossible to find a resource that teaches hiragana and katakana as pairs?

I understand that they are different but if they are making the exact same sound, why not teach them together?

  1. Because they are easy to learn, and considering most people should be able to have them memorized in a weekend, no one really has thought very hard about what would be the most logical way to teach them.

  2. Its not a bad question imo, i think most learn it quite quickly over a weekend or a few weeks. You also don’t need to super learn it, because when you start vocab you’re going to see it again and again. Also a lot of things people have trouble with is seeing new symbols for the first time so u think they’re introducing them slowly.

    In saying that. For me personally, i think i would learn better with doing both at once. It creates more connectiins in my heard where even if i dont know the katakana one, i knjow the hirigiana which i know is connected to thiss sound which is also connected to the katakana. I personally would be interested learning this way.
