so I took Japanese this semester but I cant get the language to stick in my head. any one have any ideas on how to get the hiragana to stick?
Try practicing the writing during your free time. Even if it's in the middle of a class or on a bus, just take out a notepad and try writing out some of the Hiragana characters, Japanese words, and if you know it, Kanji. And try speaking it too with someone, or just to yourself. Listen to simple songs in Japanese (such as Marry Had a Little Lamb, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, etc), and try to translate them. And also if you watch a lot of TV, and you hear a basic phrase or something you know you can translate, try translating it in your head or on paper or something.
