Final Quote
If you want to learn Japanese like me, here's a little quote about Kanjis (because I know many people who can't see the use of them), from AJATT :
Why do you use so much kanji in your Japanese?
Good question. At least 9 reasons:
1. They’re beautiful.
2. They’re logical.
3. They carry more meaning.
4. Why not?
5. The more you use them, the more people get used to them.
6. They’re easier to look up in a dictionary.
7. It’s free!
8. They’re an integral part of Japanese — all kanji, no matter how apparently rare, do get used somewhere.
9. Kana are just variant kanji.
10. People should use or not use kanji out due to stylistic choice, not ignorance.
