Learning Japanese

One of my main hobbies are learning languages, at this moment I'm learning Japanese, it's a little difficult because these language have a lot of symbols, divided in three groups, two syllabaries called Hiragana and Katakana (These are the easiest) and the Kanji group, they're over 5000 characters, each of those can have various meanings and it be too hard to learn it.

The international certification test for the Japanese Language it's called "Japanese Language Proficiency Test", this test have five levels, from N5 (Basic Level, must learn 103 Kanjis) to the N1(High Level, must learn over 2400 kanjis), this test is taken twice in a year (July and December).

I've started to study Japanese at March of 2016, at first it wasn't very difficult because I've used my summer holidays to learn Hiragana, Katakana and some Kanjis to advance in the learning process, at those class we used one one the best know books to learn Japanese, its called "Minna no Nihongo", translated as "Japanese Language for Everyone", these book was a very good tool to start my learnling process, each lesson had became more difficult as I'm finishing each one, but it was fun, and each day I've learnt more and more topics, and also with my classmates we've participated at some cultural events provided by the Japanese Embassy in Santiago, at this moment this hobby are in a "Stand By" stage, but during this year, maybe a couple of months I'll come back to have the N5 test at last!!
