I'm not focusing all that much on their writing system yet, I'm focusing on learning how to speak japanese and write japanese with "normal letters". I only know some of the basics yet though, greetings and goodbyes and a lot of different foods and drinks a lot of random words. |
By normal letters you mean Romaji ^_^
Well from my point of view, the reason for me learning the language is for business purposes, it's a good international business language to learn. So really learning slang isn't all that important for me, but it is good for hearing how words are said though.
