Not to sound nerdy enough...
But I, my brother, my mom, my dad, and my grandma might go on a trip to Japan! That is if we can learn to speak read and write japanese fluently.
We've been practicing a little bit and we know a lttle bit, but lightyears away from fluent.
If anyone could offer any help in learning japanese I would appareciate it.

The trip to Japan sounds cool! 
But I don't know a word of Japanese.
Well, I know "konichiwa". But then again, who doesn't? 
Something cool to try if you end up there:
We all know that around here, you cannot yell "fire" in a movie theatre filled up with people. It is illegal and you will be promptly arrested, fined, and may even serve jail time for doing so.
In Japan, you can yell "fire" in a movie theatre. It is not illegal, because no one will understand the English word "fire" in there.
 
Ok, that was kind of lame, but I thought it was funny.
Just to be clear though - I was joking and would not try that at all. In all probability some Japanese would indeed understand the English word for "fire" and you could cause trouble.

That was funny, not lame...
Now you would get arrested if you yelled:
"Kasai! Kasai!"
Which means "Fire! Fire!"
I told you I know a little bit...

I almost went to japan once, is funny because I never got interested in going there, until then; and of course we didn't went and I been thinking about it ever since *sighs*.
There are 3 alphabets in japanese: katakana, hiragana and kanji.
It is easier to learn the first two; kanji has like 500 different symbols, and each one has its own details -plus changes their meaning according to what do you write before and what do you write after-... it will give lots of headaches.
This is a nice website to learn japanese. I hope it helps you:

I wouldn't really call it alphabet.
Writing system would probably be the better term. Kanji is far more complicated because there's at least over 500 kanji while hiragana and katakana is much easier. (Both systems only have 46 character... while katakana is generally used for foreign words.)
I don't know if I can offer anything helpful... just make sure you have a really good Japanese teacher. (Even then, I think if you go to the right places in Japan, there'll be some English spoken or something. I'm still not clear on this because I've heard two conflicting sources on this.)abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion
