Studying Japanese is really fun. No other language gave me such a strong impression of a construction toy. Pick a piece of a certain type (say, a verb). Put it on a place, and put the right ending piece. Pick all other desired pieces (nouns, adjective, etc.), put them in the right order before the verb, and join all of them using appropriate connectors (wa, ni, etc.) Lot's of fun, and I like it. :)
