Hi, my name is Sydne. I am about to graduate from my senior year in high school. I'm hoping to become an exchange student in Japan for my senior year, but in order to that I need to learn Japanese. I know a few phrases so far and I'm studying hiragana, katakana, and sentence structure, but I can't do it all on my own. I need someone to talk or write to. Also, how important is it that I learn kanji? If you could help I would appreciate it very much =)
This guild is kinda dead... xp I can help you some. You need to learn kana for sure, as for kanji, to read a daily newspaper, you need about 2,000 kanji which are all taught in elementary and high school, so you'll have to find someone to help you with that.

Well actually, you learn the kanji in elementary school and middle school nesessary to read the Japanese newspaper and stuff, and in high school you just learn new harder kanji but you don't learn much.　What my teacher said was that in my 6 elementary school years you learn the same amount of kanji as my 3 middle school years. So you do twice the work of kanji in middle school...then in high school it slows down.
