Learning Japanese Learning Japanese can be difficult.. From the grammar, remembering vocab, to the kanji. I just feel Japanese can be difficult at times more so then others, as a opinion. With the three different writing systems, different forms of talk depending on age/sex or informal/formal, and the sentences structure SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) when English/French/German/Spanish/and Italian are used to SVO instead. It can make a person feel discouraged.. So I have asked and been asked; "Where do I start?" Well, after learning Hiragana and Katakana you then start to learn Kanji. You continue to learn kanji while learning basic greetings and vocab. After that, you begin to build sentences. Now all there is left is reading and listening comprehensions as you continue to learn Kanji and vocab. To maintain what you have learned so far you must practice it, so now you find people to converse with who can speak and read Japanese. The cycle of learning Kanji and vocab continues.. In theory, it can take up to 6- 9yrs to become fluent in Japanese. I know some who can handle themselves with just 3yrs but the point I am making, is that it takes time. It is something you have to dedicated time and practice to. If you find yourself second guessing your motives, then think back to why you are wanting to learn Japanese, and go from there. Anyways, these are my thoughts about learning Japanese and I thought it would be nice to share. =)

You are very welcome! I enjoy sharing things like this! Oh yeah, I can't agree with romaji even though it is useful in the beginning, it's practically useless in the end. Reason why I highly recommend learning the basic character sets right off the bat which some schools even follow this method. I've been watching anime and Japanese films since a young age, so I didn't think about applying reading/listening comprehension ahead of where I already placed it. I just know that once you begin reading and speaking you should practice comprehension. BUT by no means am I applying that my explanation is a step-by-step guide. More like a basic way to go about it in which you can morph to fit your own way. By saying, first learn Hiragana and Katakana then begin on Kanji, was literally me saying: that it is the naturally way to learn the writing systems. There are 2,000 + kanji, so picking up some from the beginning (which may be small) will help in the long term of learning them throughout your years of study.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I totally agree with you on the fact, that learning Japanese takes time and dedication. However i do have to disagree with some points you've made, I think one can begin learning vocabulary and basic phrases, while mastering the kana (hiragana and katakana) since these days many beginner courses are so full of romaji. Even though I don't agree with relying on romaji. So, one can actually learn a good deal of Japanese before touching Kanji. Also on the idea of building basic sentences. I think before you try to output Japanese, you should input a lot. So listening and reading comprehension should be prioritized before making your own sentences. when you have a feel for the language then it becomes easier to generate sentences. Although one can practice writing at any stage in the process. Other than that, I like your thoughts.
