Learning a language the "classroom" way is one of the hardest things you'll ever try in your entire life. I've tried thermodynamics, math, physics, biology, chemistry, literature, poetry, law, history, etc. Japanese is by far the hardest thing I've ever studied.

Ah, yeah... I guess I don't. I just never had the motivation. I need to change that, but I don't know where to start, so I guess that's why I'm sort of stuck.

As for learning, a family friend of mine is going to tutor me. I'm actually going to start meeting with him next week after my trip. And I guess I am young. I'm still in school if that's what you mean.
