Topic: I wish wasn't retarded so I could grasp the Japanese language better.

There is something neat about being able to read and write a different language, because it feels like new areas of the internet open up to you. Especially on YouTube. I can read and write Spanish with the aid of a dictionary and spell checker while only using translators as a final check. I have some knowledge of Japanese words, but that language is fucking hard to remember all of the words. I still have problems speaking and hearing Spanish too and that is arguably the easiest language of the two.
Then again, maybe, I'm just too hard on myself.

No, I'm afraid you're quite right.

Japanese is not that hard. Get a grammar textbook, use videos, and just study intensely for three hours a day.

I honestly might just do that. The sentence structure and particles are what gets me though.

預言者(彼に平安あれ)は言いました:「私は地獄の業火を見せられました。そして、その住人の大多数は恩知らずの女性でした。」「彼らはアッラーを信じていないのか」と問われました。(それとも、彼らはアラーに対して恩知らずなのでしょうか?彼は答えた、「彼らは夫に対して恩知らずであり、彼らに対してなされた好意と善行(慈善行為)に対して恩知らずです。あなたがいつも彼らのうちの一人に善良(慈悲深い)をしていたのに、彼女があなたの中に何か(彼女の好みではないもの)を見出すと、彼女は言うでしょう、「私はあなたから何の善も受け取っていません」。

You can get to kindergarten level pretty quickly by knocking out your hiragana and katakana - picking up some words and phrases along the way. Kanji's a little tougher but it depends on how far you want to take this. I got over my... what did they call it... yellow fever or whatever and penchant for anime and bailed pretty quickly myself.

I know my Hiragana. I may have to brush up on Katakana though, but isn't that the same thing except used for foreign words? I know it has a vowel extender so you don't have to double up on the vowel. I would just like to understand it enough to read advanced books and write it without having to keep a dictionary or Jisho handy.

Even better, aren't you like 6 credits away from a Master's degree from your time at community college?

I'm one class away from transferring and I'm not at the masters level.
I wanted to get into the entertainment industry as a writer.

You should go to film and screenwriting school in Los Angeles if you want that.

Talk to Dave. He lives there and speaks the language very well. Maybe he will teach you via zoom or something. If you want I can get you his phone number.
