First, I want to say I am sorry for not saying anything until now (super shy….even behind a computer screen.) Second, Thank you so much for taking the time to make these lessons for us! You are a great teacher!

I know this has nothing to do with the lesson, but I know it was something you said to stay away from and it was ください. But if I wanted to say “that one, please.” Can I say あれお願いします to be more polite than using ください

If you want to learn hiragana and katakana, just get a notebook, something to tell you the stroke order and start practicing, at first with just writing individual kana, but once you have them all reasonably memorized start to write actual sentences using words you know, then, if you have a Japanese friend, ask them to look and correct you and maybe also show you a more natural way to express what you were trying to say, and it could be helpful to hear it being said because written language is almost always different than spoken language. There are words and sound which are combined, sound which are left out, in extreme cases even whole words can be left out, for example, in written English, you'd have "What are you up to?" or "What are you doing?" In spoken language you'd have "Whachya up to?" or "Whachya doin'?" I'd say it is likely that Japanese has the same thing.

So I am not 100% sure on this one, from my understanding so far the extra information usually comes before what you are adding the information too? For example: Do you want to eat? Do you want to eat what? Sushi to eat. Therefore; Sushi taberu? Do you want to eat sushi? And some extra information would come before other extra information; tomorrow is saying when you want to eat sushi, sushi is saying what you want to eat. Sushi is adding to eat, and tomorrow is adding to eat sushi. Therefore, tomorrow comes before sushi, and sushi comes before to eat: Ashita ramen taberu? – that is my understanding of how to add information in Japanese. Please correct me if I am wrong that would be much appreciated.

Is the question mark officially part of the current Japanese written language? It seems convenient, but can we expect to see it on standard Japanese text? As always, thanks!
It is used in casual writing but not really in formal writing.

Does word order really matter like in the english language?
Or is it the particles that matter more
猫は魚を食べる (neko wa sakana o taberu) = the cat eats fish.
猫を魚は食べる (neko o sakana wa taberu) = the fish eats cat.
But 猫は食べる魚を (neko wa taberu sakana o) is wrong, the verb should be in the end.

So cool! the sentence structure (grammar) of Japanese is quite like Farsi. It also doesn't have the future tense and is Subject Object Verb (SOV)
