I have inflections up to here *holds hand up to forehead*
Now, my favourite part of learning new languages is to learn grammar. Vocabulary is just words, it's the grammar that make you able to talk.
Now, irregular verbs I am not that crazy about, mostly because they don't have a pattern, you have to learn them one by one.
Japanese only has two of these so that is pretty easy, but Japanese has a lot of inflections in general, for time and purpose amongst other.
Spanish on the other hand has a lot of both. They inflict their verbs in time, sex, and number. Kind of like German. One of the advantages with the fact that Spanish and Japanese are so inflection rich is that you don't have to learn sentence patterns rules as much. They have them, but not many.
Take the Spanish verb ser, which means to be:
Soy - eres - es - somos - sois - son
And that is just present tense, you have all these patterns for all the tenses.
