It depends on you.
If you are good at listening, you should learn the phrases.
After accustoming yourself to Japanese phrases, you can learn Hiranaga.
I recommend to learn Hiragana before Katakana.

Oh alright! Coz I've download Memrise language app on my phone and I don't if I should learn Katakana or Hiragana. Others recommended to try learning Katakana first so just asking others' opinions

You are British. So it might be easier to write Kataka than Hiragana.
Katakana is used so much curve but Hiragana is.
I recommend Hiragana first because it find easier the relation with Kanji even though both from Kanji.

Hi @Moreally. I'm not British. I'm actually a Filipino. Anyways thank you for the tips. I've visited japan once and notice they use combination of letters so I've still got a lot to learn haha

Memrise's basic japanese course is good for start, but it doesn't teach any grammar. I started with memrise and then enrolled on a real paid course
