Meet the three scripts, the sound-based nature of kana, and the basic Japanese sentence pattern used in beginner reading.
Japanese writing mixes hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Hiragana is used for core grammar and many native words. Katakana is used for loanwords and emphasis. Kanji carries meaning. In basic sentences, the verb usually comes near the end, so readers often wait for the final word to know the full action.
わたしは りんごを たべます。
As for me, I eat an apple.
The action word たべます comes at the end.

A very short sentence still places the main predicate at the end.
