ive been interested in learning japanese and have studied it some small amount, but i have the same problem. it takes literally a decade+ of constant studying to gain reading fluency with all the kanji. it seems like such a ridiculous system.
Uh, if you want to read obscure pre-19th century medical journals or horticulture or something it might take a decade. Otherwise about 2 years using modern methods.
Oh ok. I was gathering my information from native japanese students still learning kanji throughout the entirety of their education which obviously spans a decade+
