    I'm not making anything up.

    You know what I'll ask a Japanese friend of mine what he thinks. He speaks Japanese English and Spanish. He's pretty busy though so it might be awhile on account of the fact he's CIMA

    Just not making sense. Spanish grammar is nothing at all like Japanese grammar. If it was, they'd lump Japanese w/ the romantic languages. The pronunciation is quite similar, and that's it.

    But, maybe if you were trying to say that vowels in Spanish and in Japanese are pretty much pronounced quite the same, then yeah, my brain is much less full of fuck, as you would, indeed, be correct.

    Grammar, though, Japanese is closer to English than to Spanish, and it's a bit far away from that one too, mate.

    Japanese is more like Klingon, really. That apart, Portuguese and Spanish are evidently the same language but people are too stubborn and old-fashioned to acknowledge this fact.
    A friend of mine who speaks Chinese, French w/Russian accent and likes potatoes also told me that Chinese can be learned best by pronouncing words with a hot chunk of a mashed potatoes in one's mouth.

    Follow evening classes (they should probably be government sponsored if you work) and get a University book with that, check this site and look for Yansan & Erin episodes, also maybe grab Kana de Manga etc...
    Best of luck.

    Speaking Japanese is like programming in Lingo for Macromedia Director, before version 8.

    You've presumably been speaking English much longer but have no clue how to use punctuation.

    He used parentheses. Technically that's punctuation, no?

    I do agree that Japanese and Spanish have somewhat similar pronunciation, at least it seems that way from my meager understanding of Spanish and my almost non-existant understanding of Japanese.

    He should have used at least a semicolon, full stop and comma in that sentence.

    Sure. He also could've thrown an "and" in there. He had many options, but he rejected all of them. That's the kind of rebel he is.
