Currently I am learning Japanese, and I like to know who is interested in Japanese language or like to learn it. If it is possible it will be good to study it with a bunch of friends and share our knowledge here. for the start:
Konnichiva! Genki desuka mina-san? Watashi wa Suren desu. Watashi wa Americajen desu. Doozo yoroshiku.Embarrassed

Oh no, I wishe I were. I learnd it in 1984 for a half year and then one year at university. But that is more than ten years ago as well. I have some friends in Japan so I can sometimes use it but not enough.

Ohayo Some-san! hajime mashite.

Beorna do you know any good online source for learning Japenese. Currently, I am working on characters, but I have learned a lit Japanese by reading Romaji Japanese. Can you read hiragana and Katakana? I guess kanji Characters are the most difficult part, What do you think?

No, sorry. When I learned Japanese we just had booksWink.
I never tried to learn in the www.
Once I could read Hirakana and Katakana and even about 200 Kanji. But if you don't use it, you loose it. Today I can just tell you what sign belongs to what writing. Cry

Oh, I forgot your last question. If we, as Europeans or people of the Orient, look on the signs they seem to be complicated. But there is a system of special minor signs (I forgot the special expression) that appear in the signs and make it much easier to read and to differ them.

I came across a source about learning any language not too long ago which seemed a great way to get started (I don't know which level it adds up to).
 
Maybe you guys will find it interesting too. It's completely free.

You might be pretty disappointed in kanjis, especially their ammounts of on-yomi kun-yomi :p
best luck with studying this marvelous tongue-twisting language :)
