Hiro,
I was married to a Japanese woman. I was learning Japanese for some time, and I could almost follow a conversation, but the problem was, when I wanted to say something, it took me so long to construct my phrase, that when I was ready, the subject had already changed;-)
And I gave up reading and writing after the first some hundred Kanji or so...
I've forgotten much of it anyway (some years later), but I still like the country and the language...

Winter - snow falling Jingle Bells in Finale Might as well be spring...
(sorry, not really serious, this was done in 10 seconds...;-)))

This isn't far off. If you live there for 3 month, you can speak fairly easily, but reading and writing usually takes more than 10 years. I used to do copying/Finale work for John Zorn. I couldn't tell who he was when he phoned me in Japanese!
