I memorized Hiragana by writing it over and over again. I created mnemonics for some like the hiragana for "no" sort of looks like an "o" and an "n" combined in one character.

I once used the word "kasintahan" because I couldn't think of a tagalog word for boyfriend/girlfriend that is gender neutral. The only other word I can think of that time was "jowa" which isn't really proper tagalog so I used "kasintahan" instead.

Yes, I did get laughed at.

I prefer writing with a pen and paper even though I have really bad handwriting that even I can't understand it sometimes. LOL. I just find it easier to memorize words and letters/scripts if I actually wrote it down. But that's only for short notes. If I'm writing something long I'd prefer to type it so as to not waste too much paper.

Hello everyone! I'm Miguel and I'm new to this forum. I'm really interested in learning French and Japanese, I hope this forum can help me.
