good luck, I "studied" it for 3 years as well as being immersed with it by my grandma. It's super ass hard. Good luck dude.

I'm not really after it much. I should be drawing symbols every day, but I'm not. After a year we're able to read headlines of newspaper articles and understand what the article is about. We can't get the whole message though, with knowledge of just about 30% of the characters used in the article.
As far as spoken language is concerned, the teacher is still speaking slowly and using only a limited amount of phrases. When we went to a Chinese restaurant, we managed some basic conversation with the restaurant owner's children talking to the man himself was hard. There are similar experiences with other Chinese restaurants (those that actually are Chinese not Vietnamese).

Why learn Japanese? Everyone knows Japan will be nothing more than an outlying province of China within a generation or two.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

If you only have basic understanding of Chinese after a few years, it's bad, Chinese must be every bit as difficult as it's said to be. I'd probably find learning it interesting for a challenge (the European languages are similar anyway), but I don't seriously plan on learning Chinese because I can't imagine uses for it.Solver, WePlayCiv Co-Administrator

Japanese has uses, though; tons of uses. Obvious one is import games, other obvious ones could get me banned."Compromises are not always good things.
