I have a trip to Japan next year. I want to be able to understand some of what the locals speak and maybe have basic conversation. Kanji seems super intimidating so I’m trying to set realistic goals for myself 🥲 I just don’t know how important kanji is while learning the language. Of course it would suck to not be able to read things, but I think speaking Japanese is an ok goal for now.
