My japanese is pretty elementary, but it's quite fun how most "conceptual" things like verbs, adjectives, and nouns are expressed via kanji, and they're related to each other via conjugation with hiragana, particle tagging also in hiragana. And on top of that, foreign words or emphasis are expressed in katakana. So for example, 私の名前はロデリックです。The words for "I" and "name" are expressed in "complex" kanji (私、名前), connectors and grammatical stuff in hiragana (の、は、です). And my name, transliterated, in katakana (ロデリック). I've read somewhere that, as a result, japanese is painful to write, but a pleasure to read. I'm not there yet but I can sort of see it.
