Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this?

  I don’t know Danish, but French is at least consistent in what is pronounced and what is not. So seeing a word will tell you how to pronounce it even if it’s the first time you encounter it.

        I can’t think of them off the top of my head but I studied French three years and remember there were plenty of exceptions to pronunciation rules. Here are some:

        Ils mangent - intelligent

        Same four letters at the end, not the same pronunciation.
