Learn your own first. If you don't know what a particle is (in terms of linguistics), you will have a hard time with Japanese. Sino-oriental languages are really easy to learn if you think about it in 'chunks'. Speaking is the easiest part. Be more interested in social ladders than pronunciation. Don't call out native speakers for grammatical errors.
