How hard is a for a Chinese-native speaker to learn Japanese? (Read->Speak->Write as the priority)

And what are the recommended channel to learn Japanese? Is it worth it to go to centre to learn? (If so, any suggestion) or is it viable to learn by myself?

I have no basics in Japanese but are willing to spend full time up to 3 months to learn the basics.

Reading Japanese for a Chinese-native speaker, it would be easy because you can analyze and understand most Kanji's, but there are a few that you will have to learn because they are created by Japanese people. For example, 畑 Or 俣, but you will mostly understand almost all of them. Speaking on the other hand, is a bit different. You'll notice some similarities, but thats where it ends. Regarding writing, its not hard.

I would recommend you to find a center that have native Japanese speakers from Japan. I personally recommend ICLS because thats where I started my Japanese journey.

Not a problem!

I studied there for 2 years when I was in high school, once per week on saturdays!

Awesome! Are all the Japanese language teachers Japanese?

I just checked out their schedules. I have a break from end of April until end of July, so their intensive course is really tempting me!
May I know at what level should I be expecting myself to be after completing the "Beginner (9.5), Ele I (9.5), Ele II (10) intensive course" for 1.5 months?
