i've been taking japanese for three years now and i like the language; the grammar is easy to learn, with only two irregular verbs that i know of, and i enjoy speaking/listening, though comprehending fast speech from native speakers is difficult. the hardest part for me is writing and reading, because the written japanese language relies on a derivative of chinese characters. i think i've memorized less than 100 or so kanji, while theoretically students in my program are supposed to know 200-250 by this point. | ||

[German is just the same as most other european languages - like English. Nearly the same grammar, just different vocabulary. edit: That's not true. | ||

English is very versatile, easy to learn and i like how it sounds, but its incomplete thats why diplomacy should be spoken in other more complex languages. How is the english language 'not complete'? I'm not saying you are wrong, I'd just like an elaboration due to my curiosity :D | ||

A funny example was given to me by my french teacher. A special type of window in France is called le wasistdas. "was ist das?" is german for "what's that?" so apparently some german guy came over to France and looked out of the window asking what it was or maybe what he was looking at through the window. | ||
