@mtlvmpr Yeah, I am actually putting together an Anki deck for Japanese. I already use it for my Russian lessons.

[@japaneselanguage](https://sopuli.xyz/c/japaneselanguage) I like how Japanese is simply structured. Especially as a programmer, I have been able to pick up Japanese due to how sentences are structure by oglothenerd in c/japaneselanguage@sopuli.xyz

@vivia Yeah! I love how there is no conjugation, and no plurals. I am also learning Russian, and Japanese and Russian are basically complete opposites! I think the only thing that is superior to Japanese in English, is how you count numbers. I love how Japanese is very specific with things like a dedicated word ka for notating a question. Russian is even less specific than English, Russian just relies on the voice! Japanese is definitely far superior in how you can specify stuff.

Everything can be broken into blocks which is really nice. This is what programming languages do, so this feels very natural to me.

My native language is English, but I am thinking of moving to Japan.
