You really have to use the language to reinforce it, in that case it's very difficult, like and 8 on your scale ... To read and write, Katakana and Hiragana is maybe a 5 and Kanji is like a 10+ on your scale ...

Start with the basics

Arrigato Gozaimasu
R E got toe goes eye E moss
Means: Thank You

koko
coco
Means : Here


Ohio Gozaimasu
(just like the state)
Means: Good Morning

Hai
Hi
Means: yes or affirmitive

Gomenasai
Go Men a Sye
Means: I am sorry

Sumimasen
Sue Me Ma Sin
Means: Excuse me

Watching anime improves it a little, but I would say 9 because it's different from English. Sometimes it's switched, like if you say " I like coke " then in Japanese it's probably coke something.

4 - speaking is not hard, i'm learning now
10 - i've dabbled in writing, but don't have time to continue learning right now.

o hai o gozaimasu- good morning (polite form)
anata americanjin desu ka? - you are american?
anata omoshiroii desu - you are interesting

also if you watch japanese movies it helps to pick up words

Well to me, its like a 2 or 3. Maybe it'll work out for you.

That's all I know for now...
