Sad news for Japanese-learners!

Yeah, so I just read that the Japanese Agency For Cultural Affairs is more than likely going to increasing the number of Joyo Kanji one needs to know in order to be "proficient" in the Japanese language. All you looking to take the JLPT, oh, we're gonna have even more fun! :D They're adding a total of 196 new Kanji to the list, making a total of 2,136.

For anyone learning Japanese, you know that Kanji is perhaps the hardest feat to master. Not just because of the sheer number of 'em, but because have multiple readings, and tend to change when in combination with other Kanji. Basically, it's a nightmare to learn. :P

/me goes to cry in a corner~

Not like I was learning Japanese anyways. As long as I can still decipher katakana and Hirogana, I can still decipher most Japanese things that interest me. XD

Kanji's easy! Japanese is hard!

T_T *Joins Hiidoran's crying*

Well this sucks, I'm glad I'm not even that close yet, It will still be a while before I get that far. But it also means that I have that much more to learn :'(

Well, you know what they say...

"A Kanji a day... is a really friggin' slow method. Get your lazy butt up and go study. >:|"
