yea that "basic hiragana syllables" and "additional sounds" table are the most important

Katakana work the same way, so that should be easy to add aswell

Any advice on the best way to memorize them? I should memorize the Hiragana symbols and the English letter/letters that go with them to where I can look at the Hiragana symbol and know the English letter/s that go with them?
