I am scheduled to start a Japanese course soon. However, I am having second thoughts. I have a neurological condition called benign essential tremor, which means that I have a constant mild tremor, and thus my writing can never be straight... When doing my exams, I have extra time to allow for this and will enable me to correct my writing where it isn't good... Do you think it would still be possible for me to learn Japanese to a reasonable degree? I've tried writing kana and kanji, and although my kana isn't too bad (although it does not look perfect, I worry that people may misinterpret it), some of the kanji I try writing look terrible - even when using squares, I cannot at all get them right...
Do you think I should stop? (because I believe the calligraphic nature of Chinese characters means you need a lot of control) or did others have a lot of difficulties when starting to use kanji?
