What are the best books that you guys have learned japanese from? I found the Genki books helpfull and http://www.guidetojapanese.org/ since its straight forward and forces you to learn the symbols in order to read the rest of the guide.

so the best start to learning japanese is http://www.guidetojapanese.org , heisig, and workbooks?

Are you pretty good at japanese after watching that?

What is the best books to read by downloading online? Ive downloaded the Genki intergrated elementary japanese course course books, and im reading through those to learn basic japanese stuff like repeating vowels, etc, but what are the best books to start out with? I currently also have the Heisig

Also, this isn't a troll thread. I'm serious.

Sup /jp/, I have a question for you all. Should I learn Japanese? I have all the Kana memorized, and I am willing to learn Kanji on the way. But I don't know if I should invest my time into learning another language I wont specifically use. Unless I guess for watching Raws and shit, or eventually moving to the glorious nation of nippon.

Jesus, there is more sage that goes on in /jp/ than in /v/ and /a/ combined.

Can /jp/ give me some reasons as to why I should learn Japanese?

How hard is it to learn the Japanese writing system? I would like to learn it just for a time-killer, and it would be good to have when I get older, so if the economy is still as bad as it is now, I could possibly move to the country of the rising sun.

Apperantly, from Wiki, ""The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) of the US Department of State has compiled approximate learning expectations for a number of languages"[1]. Of the 63 languages analyzed, the 5 most difficult languages to reach proficiency in speaking and proficiency in reading (for native English speakers who already know other languages), requiring 88 weeks, are: "Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean", with Japanese being the most difficult."

So I don't know if I should actually take the thrill of learning the hardest writing system. Since im still young (16), I guess it will be easier than learning when im in my late 20's. But should I actually learn the language?

TLDR; How hard is it to learn the japanese writing system, and why should I learn it?

Other than fan subbing and reading shit before anyone else, would there be any point to learning the Japanese language?
