The Japanese katakana is it's own separate way of writing although the kangi looks more like the Chinese... Chinese really only has 214 different kangi type symbols (letters), much like English which has only 26 letters... the characters are comprised of these 214 symbols, called radicals... and each radical has it's own generic meaning... so, by putting the radicals together in specific ways, a word is written... I didn't think it was that difficult to learn, I think Mandarin Chinese is the most poetic and beautiful languages I've learned..... GZ
