The runes aren't completely unique, there are common elements called radicals from which they're composed. They're not that hard to memorize, it just takes time. And as I said earlier, once you start learning, you'll love kanji. There are too many homophones in the language.

Namasensei- He is a fucking ??? (nama sensei) means fucking RAW fucking REAL fucking UNADULTERATED teacher. He teaches Japanese, the basics at least, and makes it stick. Hes not for everyone, he teaches through a series of insults and drunken slurs, but if you want a great fucking motivator, check him out. ???? bitch.

How hard is speaking Japanese compared to reading? Is learning both at once simply going to slow me down?
>>
Bought this little motherfucker recently to learn kanji an it's been going well so far.
Only bad thing is the way the book is actually put together. The kanjis shown have no order of appearance (like sorting by difficulty or genre) and a lot of them aren't even used anymore. The autor jus didn't gave a fuck.

But in about 3 days studing for 1 hour I've been able to memorize about 80 of them little bitches, so that's good.

Dude, that's just wasteful. I'm pretty sure that after about 2 our 3 hours you're gonna forget most of the stuff you read the very same day. You need to give your brain time to sort that shit.

Anyway, according to http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Language_Learning_Difficulty_for_English_Speakers

>88 weeks (2200 class hours)(about half that time preferably spent studying in-country) And that's with an asterisc, which seems to signal it to be even harder.

But then again, that's just for english speakers. If you're anything else, it can either be easier (like it's easier to learn the pronounciation if you speak latin derived languages) or harder (if it's anglo-saxon)

Taking a class is pointless, you'll learn exponentially slower than you would on your own. Go read /a/'s Daily Japanese Thread FAQ to get all the resources you need, and hop in on your own time instead of paying someone to waste it.
