Since most doujin are untranslated, I've found reading the hiragana directly has been a great help in learning new words. What are some helpful ones you would recommend?
You'll need to know more than hiragana to actually read and understand them. o-o
The ones I read tend to repeat the same words and phrases, so it's not like they utilize a complicated vocabulary. I am most familiar with あ, あ! あ! あ! あ! あ..... あ!!!! あ!!!!
I can recognize お兄ちゃん in my sleep.
The most fun comes when there is an abundance of onomatopoeia that must be deciphered, and once read, takes on a personality of its own, conveying emotions that are inexpressable by simple gloops or sploops in English.
Yes, like ムチュー and プチュー and パラパラ and クプクプ and all the others someone just right pulled out of their nature's pocket.

あ あ Vipper-san
あ, あ! あ! あ! あ! あ..... あ!!!! あ!!!!
いく! いく! いく! いく! いく!
I imagine あ is pronounced perfectly each time as if reciting vowel sounds to a class
