My final japanese exam is in 1hour and 15minutes. Hopefully it'll be the last one of my life. My brain is so stuffed with chinese characters it hurts. Man, please just let me pass this test so I can forget all this crap. Chinese characters wtfffffff, I so goddamn hate them.
You ever noticed that for some kanji you need like 10 sec to memorize and others I learn for 5 hours and still can't remember them. It just makes no sense.

I studied grammar and vocab for like 5 minutes, it's like sooo easy.

Looking forward to drinking my brains out tonight and wiping out all the kanji filth from my memory forever!

When you feel weak and want to give up. Just think: your father and your father's father had it worse.

Cheers

Nah seriously. I probably shouldn't talk because I'm a Chink but Kanjis are the easiest in the world. All you need to do is recognize the pattern like what goes with what to make that character. why would it go with that to make that character. like

男 . The top bit means a farm field, the bottom bit means power or strength, because you need strength to plow the field, you need a male thus 男 means MAN.

Then just repeatedly write the character 20 times then forget about it. When you need to use it and you can't remember it, find it and write it 20 times again. That's how Chinks learned it and we have to learn like 8000 before high school ~_~

Good luck!

In my Japanese class we had an exam on Swedish grammar, apparently we need it to be able to translate properly or whatever, and i failed HARD! how shitty is that, might not be able to advance to the C course because i failed SWEDISH grammar of all things.

がんばれ!

This is why I haven't bothered learning another language and have no real intention of doing so.

if you're korean, of course it's easy to memorize grammar. good luck to you, though. if you're serious about japanese, then kanji is definitely important.

Kanji and Hanji are both stupid relics of the past. It's like QWERTY^50000. No one needs that crap anymore.

If you learned it when your were little (like 5-13) it's probably a lot easier because your brain is more open to language development. So if you went to Chinese school or the like when you were little Kanji's going to be really easy for you to remember. Likewise, it's much more difficult to learn a language after your brain has finished developing.

It's much easier to read if you use a language with something like kanji.

It took me four years of failed courses but now I realized I love the japanese language .

It sounds so beautiful and the writing is more artistic than the western way of writing.
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

Pffft.

If your japanese class is anything like my friends, I wish my chinese class were like that.
Yeah you gotta learn chinese characters but jeez reading (TONES) and writing (so many different meanings and characters for the same pinyin) is a fucking tumor.

With that said, hope you do well on your exam~
