Latin based languages and Asian languages have little to no commonality.
This makes it extraordinarily difficult for a native speaker of one to learn the other.
Kudos to Anna.

As a person learning Japanese, I really can't think of one kana (the names of the symbols that they use to speak) that looks like other letters. I mean, sure, the kana spelled "A" is written like "あ", and it has an a in the center, but no character looks like a letter.
If you still want to learn the hiragana, which is the best first step, just google this: "how to memorize hiragana" and click the first link, it's called something like tofugu, it's super awesome, easy to use, and free. I got the entire hiragana chart memorized in like, 5 days with it. They do one with katakana too.
Yup, that's kanji. Though, a kanji isn't just a word. It's a thought, or idea. So, if you wanted to say airplane, you would basically use 3 kanji-one meaning machine, one meaning movement, one meaning air. SIDENOTE: I haven't started on kanji yet, but that's how they use kanji from my knowledge.
Lol the funny think is, I was trying to study my katakana while replying, so I forgot to switch keyboards XD
sorry of I looked like a show off or something :p
Yes. And while you think this kanji means this, it has different meaning when paired with another kanji, put in a sentence, etc. And Japs have over 5000 of em
Lots of Chinese people have western names when talking to western people, it's much easier for us to say it as Latin languages are nothing like Chinese.
I always thought that it'd just be easier to rewrite a name in the Latin alphabet, but oh well. It's true that even I change my name a bit when introducing myself to English speakers.
