TheJapanesePage.com - Learn Japanese for FREE -- How to Wow! with language, culture, kanji, and grammar
If you are interested in Japanese. It's a remarkably challenging language, substantially due to the following:
- there are only a few syllables, and very little spoken inflection, thus the beginner hears a lot of ambiguity and it's hard to parse
- there are two "alphabets" (plus some other ways of writing)
- there are about 2000 pictograms (kanji) which typically have more than one pronunciation & meaning each

Pronunciation isn't all that hard. Basic grammar is pretty easy as well, so it's not very difficult to get to where you can communicate a little bit.
