Kind of a dumb question, but does anyone know some ways to learn Japanese, as a beginner (with some basic knowledge) with English as their first language?

As someone who has English has a first language and knows a basic amount of Canadian French (and a small, bad-ish bit of Russian), I’ve been dying to learn a new language again (fully this time, similar to my knowledge of Canadian French), being Japanese. But some of the language kind of haunts me with all the things necessary to learn, which is the reason I put off learning it for so long. I know some basic Japanese stuff like: こんにちは, はい, いいえ, 何, かわいい, です, 私, あなた/君, すごい, 愛して, ありがとう, 大丈夫, ごめん, さようなら, おはよう, バカ, 神, 猫, 犬, キツネ, 狼, 友達, as well as some Japanese suffixes like san, chan, kun, sama, etc. I just love learning new stuff about other cultures, especially the beautiful languages! Japanese is one of those languages that strike me by how amazing the words are written and spoken. I am also aware of Hiragana and Katakana (I have a list saved of most Hiragana letters, nothing for Katakana), though I don’t know too much about it lol. If anyone could suggest a website or app that I can use to learn it, without it being a awful cash-grab like Duolingo (also uses AI, so another con for it), that’d be nice! I appreciate anyone willing to help :D I’m sorry if I sound annoying or anything, the idea just popped into my head just now so I thought this Reddit page was the place to go. I tried an app before (Renshuu) but it was very confusing and as a beginner it was stressful. I was hoping to start with writing/handwriting before I got to speaking it, as speaking Japanese is the thing I’d like to do last (I get nervous trying to speak other languages as I fear I’ll pronounce them wrong lmao, I had the same problem with learning Canadian French).

Kind of a dumb question, but does anyone know any UTAU VBs that have a bit of a snobby accent? (Like Teto, for e.g), and that’s male + English ? I need one for a fansong I’m working on !!

other VBs that have vocals I would like to see in an UTAU include Eleanor Forte, KAITO, Kagamine Len, Megpoid Gumi, Gakupoid (not UTAU’s) and one UTAU I know that has an accent (but their gender is female) is Shiine Ame. I am working on my own fansong and I need a VB that’s English, male and has an accent !!! Thanks to anyone who can help me !! I know I heard something abt VB’s that have singers with accents get like dissipated in the process or something, but Teto and Ame both have great accents/voices, I just need them to be male. and Teto doesn’t sing in English I believe, just Japanese.

i barely remember much besides the setting which was like in a brown, rundown cabin in a very realistic setting, with guy who was also realistic and alongside a weird 2D smooth and springy animated version of Bendy, but he looked very different. the vibe of it reminded me of Who Framed Rodger Rabbit, with the IRL setting and a 2D character (Bendy), or just any other old movie that was a mixture of live-action and 2D animation. Bendy appeared taller and was lanky, and if my mind was also telling me “he’s older”, which i don’t think Bendy had an age? but if he did, he’s definitely an adult either way. he was very difficult than how he originally appeared in height and size, like how OG Bendy was small and y’know… bendy. This version of him also had NO non-cartoon pie-cut eyes than he usually had, and had regular eyes (white sclera) and weird different pupils (sorry i keep overusing “different”), i think his right eye had a large white pupil outlined in black, and the left had a small black pupil, it made him look psycho which i think that was what my dream was telling me; “PSYCHO BENDY”. his teeth were also the biggest change, because they were semi -broken and he was missing some, like he had kinda nasty ass teeth in a way lmao, and i think he had a tongue piercing? there was something circular on his tongue unless it was a black dot that some black cats have. another thing to note was his body had some almost charcoal-like smudges and crosshatched strokes like when you’re shading and accidentally rub your hand on the paper’s drawing and smear the charcoal, including his dark body (which was a tad bit greyer than it being full black) and it wasn’t just his gloves, bow and face that had smudges and crosshatched marks. i think Bendy also had a tail? just a simple devil tail i think as well as two extra cheek spiky-things on the side of his cheeks, like extra horns? if i remember correctly, the human dude with Bendy was named Gene, and he looked like Tony Soprano from The Soprano’s as well as Eddie Valiant from Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. He had this mob boss vibe, i think he was like interrogating this weird version of Bendy, as Bendy was like chilling on the ceiling and hanging from wood of the cabin. i don’t remember if Bendy went by the different name, but it might’ve just been Benx I think? i know it’s weird but my mind was just telling me “yo its Benx, that whacky-ass living cartoon demon with an italian accent”, even though i clearly knew it was Bendy, not this “Benx” dude. i think i only had this dream because i was recently watching BATIM “rip-off” ARG’s on Youtube a many days ago, specifically just Bijuu Mike lol. eventually i’ll get the courage to draw the idiot, but hey, it was a fun dream.
