there is no shortcut in learning in languages. it's all abt attitude and effort.

i know the language but i still need to go to japan and really experince japanese but answer to the question yes im fluent

I'm fluent, because my father is japanese^^ I speak it at home with him^^
But... Japanese IS a tough language to learn! Those who studied it by theirselves... YOU GUYS RULE! You sure got determination^^ Please work hard, and learn it^^

me nope never i dont even know how to speak japanese

not yet, it was included in our school curriculum before but then im trying to enhance it more.

i am not really fluent, just a beginner but it's really fun learning japanese especially hiragana and katakana..but kanji was terribly difficult for me...now learning 'nihongo no kiso ichi'...yoroshiku onegaishimasu..jya ne!

not fluent yet but im work tward being fluent

I only know a few words.

Not fluent but I actually picked up on a few words from online learning tapes lol.
