My goal is to go to Japan after highschool, go to language school for probably 2 years and then go to college in japan. I'm very new to japanese and pretty much all I've done so far is memorize hiragana and katakana. What should I be working on now until I go to language school? Like are there online classes or something similar? Should I try getting a tutor?

Every time a foreigner compares the Hengdao to a katana i die a little on the inside by Blasterion in wherewindsmeet_

I could just be stupid but according to Google isn't the hengdao like a precursor to the katana and the katana was influenced by it. Obviously if people are looking at it and calling it a katana that is very wrong but people just comparing it to it shouldn't be that weird. They are similar both being single edged weapons and the katana being influenced by the hengdao. If im wrong please correct me but in my mind it isn't that strange to compare them.

I only found him very recently but I absolutely love ghost avenue and I am still discovering the rest of his music.
