New It's more of a culture than a language.
Quite a lot in the language will not make any kind of sense if you don't learn about the culture. Of course, a lot doesn't make sense anyway, but that's akin to English's odd-spelling...

Actually, Japanese is just really different for an English speaker to learn. It is a lot more regular in its construction that English, but it's grammar is just different. And written Japanese requires a mind that has had experience at image recognition.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
