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?

    For which there are two systems, one of which stops at ten, and the other is highly irregular in its forms.

    I think you mean Wago and Kango counting, in which case Kango isn’t irregular at all. There are sound changes, but they almost all follow a handful of basic rules. Wago is plenty irregular, but it also stops at ten and is only used for a handful of things. It’s messed up, sure, but not the end of the world.

    And don’t get me started on the calendar.

    The calendar? Their months are literally just firstmonth, secondmonth, thirdmonth, etc.
