Hey everyone. I'm a Turkish student and I'm really into languages. I'm currently learning Latin and German, but many people have encouraged me to learn Japanese. They said the grammar really fits with Turkish, but I think I'm proficient in learning grammar (though vocabulary usually creates problems) so it won't really matter. The problem in my head is, though, is the writing system too hard to learn? And what book (preferably with audio) can you advise me in order to study Japanese (without being >30$)? Thank you.

I know lots of Turks who speak great Japanese. One guy I know passed the jlpt 1 after just two years of
study so he could attend Japanese university. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks! And how is the writing system? Is it composed of Kanji's like the chinese system? I heard there were 1945 Kanji's to memorize (much less from the 5000~ required to learn Chinese but still..)?

The best thing for learning the basics for Japanese is slime forest.
Japanese being similar to Turkish...I've been told that by Turks before. But Japanese doesn't really have much in the way of grammar wheras I've heard Turkish grammar is rather hard so...I dunno. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You add series of suffixes to words for Turkish. The longest word is Çekoslovakyalılaştıramadıklarımızdanmışsınız, which means it seems that you (pl) are among those who we failed to manage to turn into Czechoslovakians. I don't know if it's like that in Japanese, but I heard that Japanese cases are extremely similar to that of Turkish, also bearing the same syntax.

Hardly.
Japanese doesn't have much in the way of grammar? Who told you that one? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It depends what your goals are. There are about 2,100 kanji now on the Joyo list, but you'll need to know a bit more than that (around 2,500) to be fully literate. 1 person has voted this message useful |
