Personally, I know about 30 Kanji and hiragana/katakana. I know maybe 100-200 vocabulary words, and so far have managed to wrap my head around a few particles like wa/ga, to/ya, ne/yo, and ni. Many of them still confuse me.

Or, maybe you learned Chinese? Many of the Kanji have different meanings in that respect, though. I... think. Not too too sure.
yup i'm chinese born and raised ^^. (note: not rmt even though my chocobo is named horsebird tyvm.)

jp shouts for parties usually included class names in kanji which are the same in chinese (even if they are antiquated terms) and levels in roman numerals. so super easy for me to understand and sneak in to the party undetected hehe.
