Just for a precaution, you should never use "to" for anything except nouns. (I haven't learned the connector for adjectives yet, but it's definitely in my book.)
Ohayo gozaimasu! Hai, genki. Anata wa..?

You shouldn't be feeling lost. Japanese is a really easy language to learn. Plus, the pronunciations are easy. It might just have to take quite a while to get used to.
I think Japanese is easier than Chinese...
No specific tones to memorize (O_O)
I accidentally insulted my friend's mom when I meant to compliment her horse xD
