Helped me too. I actually learned Katakana first with an old game called Slime Forest, you may have heard of it. I actually find katakana harder than hiragana, mostly because you see more hiragana in practical Japanese and used for furigana. Practice practice practice, you definitely want to learn the stroke count to remember them when writing. Thats the thing about Japanese, its really easy to read but I find it still hard to remember hte stroke count on my kanji....
