Can you learn to speak Japanese without learning their alphabet?

Question:

Cause I mean we learned how to speak before we could read or write...

Answer:

You could (I did) but you'd only be able to speak and understand what people are saying and wouldn't be able to read. You'd be what I call "half-fluent," which is someone who knows how to speak a language but can't write it.

On the flip side, though, knowing how to speak it makes it easier to learn how to read and write, especially since Japanese is such a phonetic language. It's a little harder with Romanized languages, since there's so many silent vowels and consonants, but Japanese is very straightforward, that is, until you start studying kanji.
