Why. Why does this language have to have 3 alphabets. Why can't it just be easy like english.
God freaking dammit

I was going to post something here, but the last one I made, directed at the Chinese was edited. If I do it again I'll probably get banned.

There's hiragana and katakana with 46 letters each... What's the third? Is the third the Chinese alphabet?

English is a required course in Japan.
I'm learning japanese because I want to. No other reason.

far more than a mere 800. and it's trivial, jsut a memory exercise anyway. I like it cos it has les grammar then English... but now I'm onto chinese (mandarin), even less grammar still. It's ace.

I've studied German, Spanish, French and Serbo-Croatian as well as the Cyrillic alphabet. I think that is enough for one life. I will leave the Asian language to you young folks.

Hint hint. If you learn Chinese, you'll read Kanji! 2 for 1!

Try Cantonese
I'm learning (slowly) to speak it but don't think I'll ever be able to read it.

It's a little more than that. They have some characters which Mandarin just doesn't have. They made those up to facilitate their speech in writing. That's why I can't really read some of the HK newspapers despite my fluency in reading both Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
FYI, there are 202 dialects in China.

yes i've seen that. it was humorous. but it is japanese that he speaks. i do the german part... and one of my m8s does the estonian part and one other the english part.. it's mildly amusing to go to some pub and start talking with those languages.. the ppl dont really know what they should try to speak to us when we order beer.. 's big fun.
