Hey i know alot of you here both collect and play imports from japan. So my question to you is how/where did you learn japanese, how difficult is it to learn. If any of you have good resources (ie books tapes classes) you could recommend it would be appreciated. Also i'm not too knowledgeable on the subject, is japanese broken down into several dialects, are there different character sets for different regions in japan, is each symbol representative of a letter or a word?
