Japanese can be difficult, but don’t be disappointed. Actually, it’s not like other languages.
Why Japanese is easy:
● Easy grammar
● Easy pronunciation
● Japanese sentences do not need a subject.
● Only three basic sentences
1.動詞文 例)よく笑う。: Verb sentence
2.形容詞文 例)かわいい。: Adjective sentence
3. 名詞文 例)赤ちゃんだ。: Noun sentence
Why Japanese is difficult:
● In Japanese, “the spoken language” and “written language” are quite different. (many textbooks focus on “written language” rather than “the spoken language”).
● Japanese has a lot of vocabulary.
● Japanese has a male way of speaking and a female way of speaking.
● Honorifics are difficult in Japanese.
● Conjugation can be difficult.
When we asked our students who studied for a few years with us about their impressions of Japanese, most of them answered, “It’s much easier than I thought it would be.”
They also said, “Japanese is difficult to read, but it is surprisingly easy to speak.” Almost everyone said the same.
