I think I just have to study more, but I can't pull myself away from kanji XD
Of course, this may just be because I started Japanese three months ago, while the rest of my class started 13 months ago... I think it'll take some tome anyways, and I agree with whoever said you really have to live there for a while to fully internalize everything.

Holy crap, did
that jog my memory.
I don't have a real problem with conjugations...just the sound changing rules attached to them.
........No wait, that was the '-ない' forms.
I give you props, all my friends in Japanese class hate learning Kanji. I don't necessarily HATE it....just really, really, don't like it. Let's just say I'm better at advanced grammar than remembering stroke orders, but then again, I never follow stroke orders lest my characters end up looking like crap.
