correct word order for this sentence? I know that to study Japanese is 日本語をべんきょうする -( yes I know there is kanji for that last part, but I am just learnig kanji and trying not to overload my brain by simultaneously grappling with new grammar, and new kanji, so sorry if I write like a child.) and to study hard is 一生懸命べんきょうする What I am not sure of is how to put that together to get " I am studying Japanese very hard". It doesn't feel right to insert 一生懸命 between 日本語　and べんきょうする because that puts something between the particle and the thing being studied - I am not sure where to put it. I am not even sure I know whether it is a noun or an adjective. As you can tell, I am in dire need of help on this (seemingly simple) problem. thank you Isshōkenmei benkyō suru
