What is hard for you about Japanese?

[Janissary]

Hello,

The ?cityhall/mayor? has opened many free courses. One of them is Japanese language. Our book contains 25 units, we finished 11 so far.

But their system is like this: you cant start writing course until you finish the grammer book.

So I've been learning romanji...

Anyway, I think it's very easy for a Turk to learn Japanese. Pronunciation is easy, grammer is alike. But of course I havent yet learned complicated things. But it seems easy. Just need practice (memorizing).

I bought the hiragana & katakana books out of curiosity. Man, 100 letters, it's going to be tough And I heard kanji got way too much letters.

Kanji really scares me.

For kana, ok. This sounds writen with this symbol. That sound writen with that symbol. But i think kanji aint following regular rules...

I think most diffucult part for me will be learning new words. I gotta find a good dictionary

*I dont care much for writing... Speaking/understanding is enough for me*

stringing together the words is my problem. another problem is the place to study, living in a house full of ppl bothering you wile you study gets annoying. also, i don't have anyone to speak japanese with, cuz i think that would really help is if soneone spoke japanese back to me and helped me with correct pronunciations.

in my experience - as a student who study in japan - most japanese people are taught english at their school just for passing exams and such, therefore they didn't put too much effort in speaking skill at all. my japanese friends said this to me.

memorizing Kanji is the most difficult. it seems i have memory problem when it comes to Kanji.

My first language is Spanish, so spelling was never a big deal for me. I have problems with particles, memorizing Kanji and vocabulary. But with practice I'm improving a lot. I am using the "Minna No Nihongo" books and I think they are the best. The only problem I had with them is that they begin with polite forms and the listening excersises at first were too difficult.
Luckily, I have an amazing teacher! She really knows how to explain things.

I have problems with remembering stuff, sentence ending particles and also finding time to learn stuff around revising for my A levels.

Trust me, I still have trouble with で and が.
