Comments by "Gordon Graham" (@gordonbgraham) on "How did you Learn Japanese ?" video.

It took me 15 years to become literate, literate enough to have taken a full course load in Japanese at a Japanese university. It was well worth the time and effort. It's enough for some to be conversational, but if you want to advance in the workplace in Japan you'll need to be able to read and write.
