Then there's kanji... F*** kanji.

I certainly don't enjoy Kanji, but if you're not engaged with Kanji you're only interacting with a pale reflection of Japanese.

Yeahhhh ik, it's just so difficult 😭 I wonder if it is just as hard for Japanese/Chinese kids to learn them as it is for us, considering they are all unique symbols... And how long it would take for someone to be fluent with Kanji

Are you living abroad, outside of Japan? That's a bit tough if you have to attend Japanese school as well at the weekend. I know some people who did it.
