After i finished the english part on Duolingo I discovered a new interesting "class" which is, guess... you are right! Japanese for english speakers. Not like I am a good english speaker but I write and read at a decent level (69 if I have to trust Duolingo but i don't lol).
So full of confidence I started the Japanese lessons. From the very beggining I understood that reading and answering is not enough so I took a notebook (a green one ^^) and some writing instruments to write the hiragana that I see on Duolingo. Google helped me with some "how to draw hiragana characters" so now I can read - kind of- what is write in hiragana. Katakana is the same. Easy deal until now.
After a while Duolingo became nasty and started to add some kanji in the lessons.
Before my enthusiasm drowns Google mate provided me a site including kanji with full and complete (too complete
) explanations.
For the Japanese on this site and members who can speak Japanese after learning it:
how many years will take me to learn Japanese at the level I am at english?
How much time I need daily for practice?
And one more question: how can i listen the language except anime?
About speaking I have no hope yet but if I will have time our University has Japanese lessons for everyone. I wish to start these lessons when I have some knowledge
