Japanease is the easiest language in the world .
The languages of any kind of other countries have syllables more than 400 .
However , the Japanease is 50 syllables basically .
This means that Japanease pronunciation is easy most in the world .
in addition , it seems to be difficult to learn , because there are hiragana , katakana , kanji in Japanease .
But it is not necessary to use the kanji forcibly .
If you know even hiragana , You can read and write Japanease .
In fact Japanease female high school students can read and write only by hiragana .
This is the reason why Japanease is the world's easiest !

What the hell is 'Japanease'
Now, can anyone who actually fucking knows the language agree with this that actually fucking knows at the very minimum 2000 fucking kanji?
All I see is faggots who say Japanese is easy because they took it in school, and you find out they know like 100 kanji, retards, I swear
You can't fucking say you know Japanese unless you know the kanji. You MUST know the kanji, everywhere you go, you will see kanji. Reading/writing only hiragana is really confusing, and that's why no one does it.
It also depends on what languages you know. If you know Chinese, Japanese will be a cinch. If you know English, then Spanish is by far easier. In fact, Spanish can probably be accomplished in 1/3 the time

Japanese is pretty easy, just useless and uninteresting.
OH NO IT IS SO FUCKING HARD TO MEMORISE 2000 KANJI
It's the same fucking shit as learning words in languages with a moderate amount of irregularities. Kanji are semi-predictable and it's just a shitload of memorising. And the grammar is piss-fucking-easy.
Difficult or time consuming? Learn the difference, it could save your fucking life.

All language learning is, is time consuming, retard. You misewell say Chinese is one of the easiest languages to learn ever, the grammar is far simpler than Japanese. Sure it only had 6000-10,000 kanji (or in this case, hanzi) you need to learn, but that's easy, right?

Oh, and you know what is difficult? Being capable of sticking it through with something that is very long and time consuming.
So I guess difficult does relate with time consuming, doesn't it?

Again, that doesn't make the language inherently difficult.
If you're too much of a fag to stick with it for a couple of years, then that's just you being a shit, not the language being difficult.

No language is difficult by your logic then. Every language is incredibly easy to learn over time

The difference is that the grammatical concepts and constructs of, say, Russian or Arabic are more difficult to grasp than the rote memorisation of Japanese.

"In fact Japanease female high school students can read and write only by hiragana "
Bullshit, they know plenty of kanji, by grade 1 they have to start learning kanji, each year the amount increases and by the time they are out of highschool they know enough to read a book or a newspaper loaded with em~~~~~around 1800 kanji

>by the time they are out of highschool they know enough to read a book or a newspaper
This statement alone should tell you something about the difficulty of reading japanese. The fucking natives can't even completely read a newspaper until they're 18.
Firstly, that only shows the memorisation being too fucking much, not the difficulty.
Secondly, how much of our youth is literate enough to read anything beyond the tabloid bullshit nowadays?

Seriously, shut the fuck up about difficulty and memorization. Nothing, and I repeat NOTHING is fucking hard after time. If you can't understand this, then please, become an hero
