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?
Depending on the proficiency level you want, but if we include immersion here (which we should as studying per se won’t get you very far on its own) then you will need a couple of years. Unless you’re studying and immersing full-time, there’s no way to speak a language proficiently in less than that.
