Hi everyone!
I'm new to this site and altho i was reluctant to try searching any info on Japan this way,i was ultimately forced to because of lack of better choices(Living in a south-eastern Europe).
I was really introduced to Japan culture through manga a few months ago,but the fact that its just a tool of the entertainment industry makes me feel like most if not all the impressions i got are wrong and way different than things really are(and plus i think its logic to conclude so).
But all that aside,i did some research and became very fond of Japanese culture,and because of that i'll take a Japanese as a major.Currently im studying
in a med college for a doctor diploma.I'm interested in opinions about job market in medicine and pretty much any advice i can get form people who actually live there regarding social interaction and just how do foreigners go there to live and work.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome

If you are considering trying to work as a doctor here ... I would imagine you will need a high level of verbal and written Japanese.. so you had better start studying today!

I did some research and found about hiragana,romanji and katakana.So i was wondering,which one do the Japanese use,or do they combine them?Its confusing

All of them

They also use kanji.

Yep, they use them all in conjunction.

Kanji is a much larger alphabet (consisting of tens of thousands of characters, I think) wherein each character can represent a sound and a couple of different meanings. Apparantly, Japanese people know, on average, around 2000 kanji each.

Hiragana and Katakana are the more everyday alphabets, each one having about 45 characters (most of which can be slightly altered to make a different sound, for example the character "su" can can have what looks like a quotation mark attached to it to turn it into "zu".

These are all used together and you'll commonly find them all in the same sentence. It sounds intimidating, but it's perfectly possible to learn hiragana and katakana and a few essential kanji and then pick up more kanji as you go along. I just recommend getting a teacher who is Japanese, or has been living in Japan for a while at the very least.
