I know there is many people would like to learn japanese ,, I am one of them ,, I am studying japanese and I think this is amazing language ,, some peopel think that its hard ,, I heard this million of times .. I have to mention something ,, the only hard thing in japanese is writing ,, its really hard but I am still trying to do this ,, this language is amaizng ,, although it consedered one of the dead languages - I mean the language that only use is its country ,, yet I like it and I would like to see how many here is this forum intersted in it ... There is a wrong idea between some people here and in other places .. they start immaidiatly learning the grammer and the writing before even know some phrases and vocabulary ..
