More than 120 million of people speak Japanese; well you have to if you live in Japan. Japan, because of its geographic location, has an interesting political and cultural history, and a unique and completely original language, different than any other language, even than their neighbor language, Chinese.
Although Japanese had adopted Chinese ideographic script, it had created its own phonetic syllabication; its basic grammar system had not suffered important changes. Japanese certainly is one of the most difficult languages to learn, that might be because of its writing system and its great amount of idiomatic expressions. However, acquiring a functional skill speaking Japanese is not that difficult. Syllabus pronunciation is stable, which allows the majority of students to understand and imitate its sounds almost without a problem from the very beginning of their Japanese learning process. It happens that people from Japan consider their language as part of their social customs and not as a communication vehicle. As a consequence, they have not been well prepared or motivated to teach their language, so that there is a lack of teaching methods and resources. On the other hand, Japanese is peculiar enough to be analyzed under the lights of Indo-European language grammar.
On this blog, I’ll be helping people to learn Japanese at the same I improve my skills. So follow me and pay attention about what you’re reading. It’s a long way we have in front of us.
