I've always been amazed with bilingual people. It's a lot harder than one would think to keep track of more than 1 language.

I tried to learn how to read, write, and speak Japanese, but I kinda gave up after I got halfway done with the hiragana. I'd like to try again someday, though.

I'm bilingual in English and Russian, and rather fluent in Sarcasm. There seems to be a lack of people of the latter as of late, unfortunately. Took a couple years of both French and Spanish, but remember little of it.

Trilingual. Spanish, English and Japanese. I was born speaking Spanish natively, as my parents only speak in Spanish, even now. I translate things for them sometimes, it sucks. I picked up Japanese because it was the language I was most interested in, and 2 semesters of a foreign language is required for transfer credits. Most lazy shits just pick Spanish, despite the fact everyone here speaks Spanish, but I saw no point in wasting my time on something I already knew.

I speak fluent Lithuanian and English. I also studied Irish and German in school but that only got me so far. I can speak and understand a bit of Russian as well as most of my family is Russian

these threads always have people claiming that they know a lot of languages even though they can't speak them even half fluently.

Same, gave up on learning kanji because it was difficult. Now I have no time for it. Suck.

Start with the hiragana, then the katakana, and THEN the Kanji. Gotta learn the basics first.
