Hello. So first I'll tell you a little about myself - but you can skip to the end if you can't be bothered to read it all.
I'm 15 years old and I'm learning Japanese.
My plans were to learn Hiragana, Katakana, and then after a while learn some Kanji.
I love meeting people online, and I'm really interested in the Japanese culture - therefore I'm really interested in learning their language and speaking to people from Japan. When I'm able to speak Japanese, I will be going on holidays to Japan and also meeting loads of japanese people online.
Moving there is a different story, I'd love to move to Japan but I feel really unwanted to be honest.
I mean, my country (England) is filled with foreners. The English culture has basically been destroyed. There are no more jobs for the English people, and it's very hard to find good schools for (y)our children. I wouldn't want this to happen to Japan - I think it's also happened to America but I'm not sure..
Back to the subject, I don't think I will be writing the Japanese characters that much, so is there actually any point in learning how to draw them (the stroke orders and such)?
Also, I wanted to ask if anyone else learning Japanese hasn't learnt how to write the characters and has learnt them all by there looks?
Did you learn how to write all the characters or do you only know them by look?
Also, with all these Kanjis it must be hard to remember them all, anyone only learnt the look and sound of kanjis?
Thanks. :3
P.S - Did you/are you learn(ing) Katakana or hiragana first?
