    It's not that hard. Just take classes at your local school. Do a couple of Google searches :)

    thing is i am not in Japan so i cant take classes

    Of course you can!

    Go to google and type:

    japanese classes in <cityhere>

    Replace <cityhere> with your city!

    Look at the various offerings, prices, and then make a decision :)

    not very city has this lol

    Take the red pill, and sit in the programming chair.

    In less than 30 seconds, you'll not only be fluent in any language, but also a master of all martial arts.

    There is no spork.

    Most do, but your answer tells me that you didn't even search and don't actually want to learn japanese, you just want to vent that you think the exploit ruined the economy.

    It's pretty difficult reading it, I was born in a country in Asia so we had to learn an Asian language but English too while growing up; I chose to learn Japanese and when it comes to speaking it I'm amazing at it but when it comes to reading it I still get a bit lost every now and then.

    But I'll go the safe route and just make a simple real life observation without accusing anyone of anything:

    Uh. Why not use the EU server?

    Internet topology is rather different from geographic topology. Most EU-Asia traffic is routed through North America. Similarly, most Oceanic-EU traffic is also routed through North America. This is why Australians are generally better off on the NA server than the EU server. For someone in Eastern Europe / Black Sea, Europe would be far better for you than Japan.

    Best way: ticket to Japan, and stay in a non-public area for 1 month.
    Should do wonders.

    Japanese server?

    Google Japan: https://www.google.co.jp/

    Whether or not you can learn it in two months? Maybe. How much do you want to learn? Also, do you want to read/write it or just speak the language? Learning some basic Japanese is pretty easy. I know enough Japanese to have a basic conversation: order dinner, ask for directions, and so on. I know some technical terms related to art and my job. I learned it in about eight weeks, but then I seem to get languages quickly.

    Writing and reading are harder.

    One other thing: Japanese is a "fast" language. German, to me, seems to be slower and easier to understand (German words are often mixtures of two or more words). When I was in Tokyo, I found it hard to keep up with the students because they spoke so fast.

    Good luck!

    Edit: I will admit Japan was one of the harder languages I've learned - but I haven't tried Chinese yet.

    You may be able to communicate your ideas in a limited way but there's no way you'll be able to understand them.

    A class will teach you nothing about how Japanese Gamers communicate. For example: I challenge any non-Japanese person to give me the japanese equivalents to: afk, l2p, lfg, agro, spam, lulz. If anything they use the English expression, in which case no need to learn Japanese unless you Role play.

    I'm sure if you start chatting in English, every Japanese in range will be very eager to communicate with you. No need to learn Japanese, I believe most their game players know English well :).

    The biggest problem is, the entire game will be in Japanese. Speaking it is one thing but learning to read it is an entirely different and complex animal.

    AFK = りせきちゅう It literally means away.

    I don't know the rest but I've seen ちょ used for WTF ...

    But many Japanese gamers are students and many of them speak and type English. I have no problems chatting with students in Tokyo because they use English.
