Interesting facts about the Japanese Language

I've lived in Japan about half my life or about 28 years at the time of this post. I have been called a good speaker of what is considered one of the most difficult languages in the world. 

Is there anything easy about Japanese?
No verb conjugation!
No gender of nouns!
No articles (a, the)
Number (singular and plural) not important and barely exists!
Not hard to learn to pronounce as there are only 48 sounds consisting of 5 vowels and 11 consonants!

Syntax or the word order of a sentence, excepting the final verb, is totally free!
