Why do you study Japanese? because one day i would love to live there. i also enjoy leraning languages and felt Japanese was the right one for me
Do you think it is a difficult language to learn? i think some aspects are yes, such as Kanji, but hey! theres worse - chinese!
What are the main difficulties you face when learning Japanese? Why? I'm struggling with stringing sentences together and learning literature - Kanji, hiragana and katakana.
What is the easiest thing to learn? What did you learn first? I started by learning common and day to day phrases, and then progressed to learning hiragana (which i am currently studying) whilst taking the time to build my vocabulary.
How long does it take to get used to the Japanese alphabet? If you are referring to pronounciation of Romaji, then it didn't take me personally very long, although obviously it varies from person to person, some people are better at learning languages than others.
What was the first thing you were taught? Greetings
What are the most common mistakes? My most common mistakes are spelling and order of words in sentences.
What will your knowledge of the language be useful for in the future? I'd like to move there one day or maybe get a job in translation
