But you shouldn't just learn a language by which is easier, you have to be interested and invested in it. And there's more resources that I'm interested in in Japanese than Korean.

Actually, there are Hanzi with more than one reading, so Chinese has it too. Yes, it's not nearly as common, but it exists.

i'm currectly more intersted in korean due to the fact it doesn't require hanja at your face imediatly but I'm also a fan of kpop.

I see. Well, Korean would definitely be the better option for you, then! But personally I already have my hands full with French, Chinese and Japanese.

I'd say the same way I learned english, learn the basics then immerse yourself in that language. Doesn't mean you have to move to Japan but definitely taking a class where you speak it exclusively works best. It forces you to start thinking in Japanese to 'survive' it. I took a semester in college and i really enjoyed the class but you need a lot of time and dedication.

I'm not even sure if Captain Explosion is still even attempting to learn the language, I just bumped it so that I could have somewhere to update my progress.

I took a course many years ago, but I've forgotten everything. Now I'm slowly working through the Genki series and supplementing it with A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar for grammar review. I also loaded the Genki CDs on my phone so I listen to the chapters while I'm in the car or on the train.

My grandma taught me. Never learned how it speak much of it but i understand that language. if someone else were ot speak in it id know what thye are saying.

This is a lifelong pursuit of mine. I try to engage in a Memrise Japanese lesson about once a day ideally, but lately it's only been about 3x/week. I did however find a lot of success reading a Japanese children's story that had the English, the Hiragana(Kana+Hana), and the English phonetics of the words - it was awesome.

I also tried making my own creative posters digitally which was fun for a while - learning it "hands-on" so to speak, actively engaging myself in the process. I'm getting there!

I really wish that I had started earlier than I did, but I've been really bad with procrastinating!
