Japanese is so much harder than English...
Although Japanese has Kanjis, that only makes us (native chinese) easy to read and understand.
But when it comes to speaking, one kanji might have 5 yomikata...and it changes all the time...
The grammer is annoying too...
You will learn proper grammer in school, but when you leave school, ppl on the street use shorten forms of Japanese and slangs...(Like Akihabara, they say "Akiba"...wtf!)
