    I am currently studying Japanese, and the best thing that could help you is to say words in Japanese constantly. Try speaking to yourself in Japanese. If you know a common word or phrase, use it. It doesnt matter If ur friends don't understand, only you.
    I use "naruhoudo" "hai" "iie" "wakarimasu" "tabesmasuka" "okane" and many more. Then I use them in sentence context so that I don't forget the grammar aspect.

    "Hai, docchi ni cake no kouta ga suki desuka?"
    "Cofe ni nomimashyou"
    Etc etc

    Also to read hiragana and katakana, I suggest you associate the letters with something ur interested in. I am always happy to write "tachi" and "neko" in hiragana which is only 2 letters, but I know those letters by heart. (●'◡'●)ノ . Reading can also boost ur understanding levels, so start reading Japanese nursery rhymes, poems, and of course anime....with the subs off

    1 language at a time. Korean is much easier to learn than Japanese.

    I'm learning Mandarin right now. For me, I already spoke Cantonese before so Mandarin wasn't too difficult to pick up. Now that I'm at the harder parts of learning a language, it's definitely harder to remember words and new things I'm learning. For remembering words, first check if you can write them from memory. If you can't, try using those words more often. Of course, it would probably work if you wrote them over and over. With reading, just read more. Look up words and phrases you don't understand. Hopefully Google Translate will translate it properly. For speaking, it would be helpful if you could find someone fluent in Korean/Japanese and talk to them in Korean/Japanese on a regular basis. Have them help fill in words you don't know. At some point, your vocabulary will start expanding even when you don't realize it. Talking to someone will also help your listening ablity. You may learn new words! I hope this helped.
