Soriku said: I'd like to learn Japanese, but this language is way too confusing to write. And WTF is with this Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji, etc.? Why can't it be just one? I'll stick to the couple JP words I know how to SAY :P |
Don't worry about katakana and kanji. Just stick with hiragana for now.
You can get away with just knowing hiragana IMO. Katakana's just used to indicate loan words from foreign countries and other things. Kanji is to make sentences less clutered (since there's no spaces in Japanese) and faster to write.
So like I told Kamal. Learn the hiragana SOUNDs in one week. Maybe learn how to write a, i, u, e, o (using a white board makes this a lot more easier).
As long as you can read and say the hiragana, I feel that I can teach you guys. Since the typing program I gave in my OP simply requires you to write the sounds to write hiragana, you guys can easily type hiragana, without learing how to write it yet.
So take it slowly with writing hiragana, and learn the grammar with me.
