Is Japanese similar to Korean or Mandarin? - 02-02-2009, 08:48 PM

I'm taking Japanese in HS and would like to find this out in case I want to learn another language in the future. Although I doubt it for some reason, I've actually heard Korean and Japanese are very alike. Is this true? Also, seeing as Japanese kanji developed from Mandarin Chinese kanji, I'd assume they're written language systems would be very much alike excluding Japanese kana. So could someone please tellme? I'd appreciate it. ~Thanks.
