This was still a fantastic little primer - in the tech field, I think we all know a few people that know katakana and hiragana well enough to impress their friends by mentally sounding out an english cognate - "hey friends, this is a pharmacy up here" - the first 1% looks like magic to the rest of us.

Well... Taking Japanese in high school will do that to you.
Hiragana and katakana are the first things you go over and it took a good part of the first year.
Korean is simpler by far. Just a couple weekends of looking at the rules and what they do. My problem is that I can't actually form the sounds in my head fast enough in order to know what the words mean.
