I've recently started learning Japanese writing and speaking, and i have to wonder, is it really this easy? Pretty much every word or phrase that i have encountered so far in Japanese can be spelled out using Hiragana, and occasionally Katakana if it is a foreign word, so i guess my question is how often to you encounter Kanji? Because i've been reading some Japanese and i have yet to see many of them. Is learning Kanji ABSOLUTELY necessary in reading conversational Japanese?
Help please? =]
