Japanese is a mess.

No, I'm not talking about Japs, that is racist, I'm talking about their language. I mean didn't they learn how to use space in sentence? Did the paper too expensive or did their word too big to afford that? Or they just too lazy to do it? Then again, they lazy enough to drop object in the sentence so I wouldn't too suprise. But seriously, how can you tell which one is a single word and which one is two separate word? I read that each Kanji is a word but then I read one word can be make by two or more Kanji and word can be make by solely Hiragana or worse, it make by mix both Kanji and Hiragana together. So in order to learn Japanese, not only I need to learn 2000 characters but also combination of those 2000 together? How can you even do that? I wasn't even be able to learn 2000 English words, and I had using it everydays for 5 years now, it would be easier to learn how to decode Enigma machine than this.

I am too naive to think that just by knowing what Kanji mean I can finally understand Japanese. Look like the rabbit hole go deeper than I thought.
 
Not having spaces isn't unique to Japanese in the slightest. Classical Latin and Ancient Greek were also written with no spaces.
 
Try learning spanish! Possible ways a word can be interpreted.

Possible ways of corre (run):

Corre
Corria
Correra
Correria
Corremos
Corriamos
Correremos
Correriamos
Corren
Corrian
Correran
Correrian

And this is ONE word.

Here's another example.

El conserje lava los lavabos.
The janitor washes the sinks.
Él es el conserje.
He is the janitor.
 
Do consider that Spanish was not only derivated from Latin but also from Arabian languages.
 
Yeah these "Romance Languages" are nasty. French is part Frankish. Only Italian is good. Latin itself is nice for barking out commands.
