Ah, that's so kind of you. I could use any help, it's such a different language from English.

Well, I've watch anime and I very love Japanese. It sounds very lovely. But I've heard that Japanese is really hard to learn. It's so different from English or France. I'm learning Chinese and find it's so difficult to remember Chinese characters. They say that Japanese is even more difficult... o.O

My mom says the Chinese language is one of the most hardest languages to learn (hence, Sejong Daewang created the Korean language so that many people could be literate--not just the royalty or nobles). As I've started to learn Japanese, I noticed it was very similar to Korean (in terms of word-usage, grammatical, and customary remarks). It's kind of like how English is similar to Spanish so native Spanish speakers find it easier to learn English when they come to America compared to, for instance, native Korean speakers.

I assure you Sejong Daewang did not invent Korean.

My wording wasn't very clear. Sejong Daewang presided over it (i.e. hiring scholars) and played a huge role in promulgating it.

I wasn't really interested in the sprinkles of details (my parents just told me about him, maybe learned it in Sat. Korean school briefly long ago), but -for anyone else interested in the exact history: Quick 411

Well, Japanese is indeed hard to learn, but not so much if you study it systematically, little by little. I used to attend a Chinese class and I can tell you that Japanese is actually easier to learn. First of all, Japanese doesn't have as many phonemes as Chinese does. It took me only more than a month to memorize the Kana (and I felt really relaxed when learning it), while it was annoying like hell when I tried to memorize how to read Chinese Pinyin. Moreover, simplified Chinese characters don't describe the meaning of words as good as Kanji or traditional Chinese characters do. This is why I could retain more words when studying Kanji compared to when I studied Chinese. My first language is Vietnamese, a language that is heavily influenced by Chinese, and yet I still find it very difficult to pronounce Chinese words, while pronouncing Japanese is much more relaxed, not to mention that my English and Japanese were degrading while I was attending the Chinese class, lol.

Anyway, you just have to be patient and have self-discipline and you'll gradually be able to learn Japanese. I can assure you for that.

Korean and Hangul are not the same thing. But I suspect you already knew this. I just got confused because you kept talking about "Korean," not "Hangul."

You mean French not France, right ^^


Anyway, how can Japanese characters be even more difficult than Chinese characters knowing that Japanese charac. are based on the Chinese ones.
It's much easier for a Chinese to understand Japanese than for a Japanese to understand Chinese ^^
