Oh boy, it's gonna be rough when he learns that you need another ~2.000 kanji to be fluent. Although only ~100 for JLPT 5.

For context, there are only 46 hiragana and 46 katakana.

Japanese is whacky.. Like why not just pick one alphabet instead of using 3 different ones? Are they stupid?

We also use two different alphabets. Lower case and upper case. Upper case is basically Latin script optimised for stone carving, lower case was developed for ink writing (I think in the Carolingian era). Now we use both at the same time without batting an eye.

Add cursive in the mix and we also have 78 letters instead of 26.

Ha, never thought of it like that. Although everyday Japanese also uses the alphabet occasionally, so you kind of have 4 alphabets to learn? 5 if you count Arabic numbers?
