I started learning #Japanese in 2012. I study about 1-2 hours a week (not counting Mastodon ^_^). I know you folks here learn a new language in a few months but I'm not like that.
In October 2014 I set myself a task: to read Haruki Murakami's novel "1Q84" in Japanese. It's a long novel, about 2200 pages in total. The Japanese paperback edition is split in 6 volumes. Initially, it took me over an hour to read a single page.
Yesterday, I finally finished reading the 2nd volume!
@wim_v12e I am learning Japanese now it's really hard
@extinctionratio It is, but I found it very rewarding, and fun. The hardest part is remembering all the characters.
