(Sorry but my computer can not read Japanese. It shows up as boxes on my screen.)

Well it's not exactly "simple" I would imagine that there is still a lot of paper work, and verifying information with the government. I am not sure how to move there if you aren't married. A tourist can only stay there for 3 months at a time I think.

Learning the language is the same as learning every language I believe. You have to learn how to use which words at which time, and learn all the tenses of the verbs and such.

I am sure if you are studying it every day with someone and you are getting a helper, then it is a lot easier. But if you are teaching yourself, then it can get pretty hard and confusing. Seeing how the Japanese have a lot of different words that mean the same thing. Similar to the English language.

If you become a citizen, and show that you are capable of working, and being respectful to the people, then I am sure you'll be accepted fairly quick. But of course, you'll always be viewed as a gaijin. An outsider, since you aren;t of Japanese decent.
