@Das_Gespenst Well, I have the general gist of what Japanese is like, and I know about Kanji. Still, the language itself is radically different, even if the writing system is 1/3 the same, so it's still a big achievement for you to have learned it. I imagine it's like if you're Romanian and you learn Hungarian. They use the same writing system and have a shared history, but they're from two totally different language families.
