I agree with IcewindDude, I think the Japanese language is not too terribly difficult when compared to the English language. The only major barrier would definitely be learning the characters, as opposed to the more familiar roman alphabet that you would use for the latin-derived languages. In my experience, though limited, I'd have to say the more simple the writing, the more intense the grammar is.
But anywho, I am creating a new website on the Japanese language and culture. It's called
theJapaneseTutor.com.
I am looking at other sites and trying to make learning the Japanese language more easy and less painful. The site is divided into two sections: the
Japanese language and
Japanese culture. Within each section, there's for example
Japanese food in the culture section or
Japanese grammar in the language section.
For all the Japanese language learning veterans out there, I'd love your opinion and suggestions on how the website can be improved! I've recently added some
grammar quizzes to the site. Let me know what you think!
Yours,
Tony
