I think nonnatives who try to use Japanese are pretty cute. Nonnative Japanese sounds pretty for me.
And he also try to use my language to me like I use English to he. I'm glad he did that:D
I am actually enjoying teaching myself the Kanji. Sometimes remembering the number of strokes or looking at the character as a 'picture that represents something' helps for me.

There are many kanji that even native Japanese can not read and write. Don't worry about that.
And we Japanese study (of course not only though) kanji about 12 years at school.
6 years in elementary school, 3 years in junior high school, 3 years in high school.
High school is not compulsory education. But at least 9 years we learn kanji.
Yo Vespy after a day of work I'm too tired and a bit lazy to type out a formal PM, but your sig is against the forum's rule of over 500KB, please go and change it. Thanks
Wow..that's a lot of years.. I know I can do it but I just don't have any motivation for self studying. That's why I'm hoping there will be courses sometime soon that I can take..
As renano said, understanding what the kanji means is efficient to learn it.
You want to learn Japanese, unown? When you have questions about Japanese, please feel free to ask me. I can teach you.
I'm always helped about English by people who are in ASL.
It is time that I use English learned from king!
You can relax now. Well done, king!
@Vespy;
I guess learning to speak and listen Japanese is not so difficut, but writing is difficult.
In Japan, the reading of a difficult kanji is often showed by writing hiragana at its side.
