>I'm only interested in speaking, and not much reading, so, is it possible to learn to speak simple phrases in a short amount of time?


i am going to write my notion of the language and how it may be for you .


i don't exactly know whether you will speak Japanese in a short amount of time.
but, speaking japanese is far easier than reading that.


in japan, many people from other countries can speak japanese fluently, but,
reading is an another problem.
there are people who cannot read or write kanji much, even they have lived in japan
for 16 years or so but they can speak japanese fluently.
and actually, there are also people who can read and write japanese fluently too.

i think that depends on how well you are interested in the language, or how well they
want to acquire the language.


i think japanese language seems very difficult, but to be able to speak it is not so difficult.
because i think once you can get used to the structure of the language, you will be able to speak
that easily because there are few exceptions of structure of the language.


as for reading , it is extreamly difficult, even for japanese （especially for children ）
so if you don't want to learn that , i think you don't need to do that absolutely.

but, in my opinion, i think learning reading that would enlarge your world and outlook remarkably.

japanese language places great importance on the writing system.
the 3 writing systems of japanese makes japanese japanese.
those are a key of japanese language and are its identity.
so the systems have a great influence on speaking of it naturally.

when japanese people speak,
they imagin the characters, such as kanji and katakana , hiragana
because there are a lot of word written by kanji or with hiragana which has same pronouciation and different meaning（each kanji has its own meaning）
and words of foreign things and people and slangs which are written by katakana.
such things are needed because of not only the problem of necessity,
but also japanese culture and japanese sense of values.

so only speaking or listening the language would enable you to watch anime( talk）
roughly and you can enjoy it
but it does not give you all of values of the anime and images of the words the characters are
having the meaning in that exactly.

so perhaps only speaking japanese will cause some trouble for you in the future（this is only my expectation ）


the reason why i wrote my notion of this language is that i want you to know the fact now.


but that is only my personal notion, so how you take that is up to you.

but i really wish you would be able to enjoy what you do in japanese.

ganbatte kudasai. good luck～=☆
