Anyone fluent in Japanese?

[Orpheus]

I'm mainly asking about people that studied Japanese at school, or took courses, and not so much native speakers, but either opinion would be valid.

So I'm just curious, what did you find most difficult to master about the language? Was it the grammar, the pronunciation, or what exactly?

I don't know... I have been studying at college for 1 year or so and I have had no problems with grammar or pronunciation, however, I find learning kanjis quite irritating. I mean, the few I have studied, if I were to see them I would probably know what they are, but I often forget how to write them. And, I also forget their different readings.

Any suggestions that don't involve simply writing every kanji 1000x times? Perhaps you could suggest a nice piece of software?

Idk alot of real Japanese people told me that if you weren't born there it's extremely hard to learn it fluently like native japs do

No kidding.
It's such a different language, I mean... so COMPLETELY different.
