I wish it was that easy with Japanese. English is so fucking easy to understand that you only need a handful of words and basic grammar to start learning and understanding your first sentences. With Japanese you need training and a couple of thousand words to understand at least a few words per sentence. Let's hope in 10 years my understanding of Japanese is at least half as good as that of English. |
I'm learning Japanese too! (Afterall I have to live up to my username!). It has been difficult, I must say, but I feel so great when I make progress. There's also a whole bunch of Japanese media that can keep my interest unlike French, which I'm mainly learning as I live in Canada and it's helpful for employment.
