you will get better at making stories, visualizations, and clever phrases as you go through the book. Yes, you have to use them, and learning Hiragana in a few hours is not impressive.

I indeed prefer to input everything myself. I think I pick up a little more about sentence structure that way. It is a slow process though, good think I'm in no hurry.

keep going as long as you are clearing out your failed pile, and don't add more than you think you can handle. Just don't give up and you'll be fine. And remember to use your imagination!

In the beginning it will take longer for each Kanji cause you haven't quite built up the skills yet, so don't worry about taking it slow right now.
