Essay: 1-03a Language Learning story

Because I am born in Japan and bring up there, I understand Japanese. I didn't like Japanese class, but I have never been pazzled communication with Japanese. Why I didn't like it, It is very difficult for me to learn the grammar and kanji. I think Japanese people learn a lot of things by heart. All English speakers have to remember Alphabet by heart, but Japanese people do not only kanji, but also hiragana and katakana. Learning hiragana and katakana is as easy as doing Alphabet, but I don't remember all kanji. The number of my remembering kanji may be less than that of not doing. It is just like Greece national anthem. I heard it has lyrics by 158 yesterday. They also don't remember by the last.
