I currently have to use Subtitles, kinda annoying. And I despise dubs since the voice acting is so bad, I mean like the emotions in the voice, its so emotionless in English.

I am a English speaker with some fluency in Cantonese and Mandarin.

How difficult is Japanese? Am I gonna waste a lot of time?

Also what’s the best resource to learn?

    I have friends who learned japanese quite easily. Granted, they where living in japan so that’s way easier being deep into easy practice and daily exposure.

    But grammar is quite easy, as well as phonetics (that actually depends on your mother language, for us it is at least).

    Of course don’t learn the traditional symbols, or don’t learn how to write it at all, since that would be useless to your goal. If that is even possible I don’t know.

    Disclaimer: I didn’t study japanese

      Oh. Lmao. Of course. 😆

      Hey you know btw I’m Chinese and I learned English very easily. How? It’s actually very simple. I immigrated to a English-speaking country when I was a child (with family).
