Take the following as truth: I cannot however be compared to Japanese  I have never been to Japan, and I am self-taught; I can read and write Japanese (slowly) for I did learn both the Katakana and Hiragana syllabaries (47 signs each) as well as a few thousand Chinese characters.
Then the following statement: "I learned how to read and write Japanese on my own." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
