I would very much like to suggest that this thread be closed. It's attracting too many liars.

On JF and other forums like this, NONE of the people who claim that Japanese is an easy language to learn have ever demonstrated their Japanese proficiency to support their claims.

The OP is no exception. I demanded that he write something in Japanese and he ignored it. This is incomprehensible. I gave him a great chance to prove his point and he just ran away. I'm pretty sure that the newer guys just above who state that Japanese is easy would do the same if I asked them to "show" it instead of just "say" it. Frankly, if you're still talking about kana flashcards, you haven't seen anything yet.

As the member who has answered over 1,000 Japanese-related questions on JF including some tough ones about Classical Japanese, I know that the more serious Japanese learners have never said and will never say that the language is easy. They are right because Japanese isn't easy.

English is a foreign language to me and I've never said anywhere that English is easy. If you can translate this post into Japanese with ease (, which I can), then perhaps you can keep on telling others that Japanese is easy.
