A interesting tendency I saw a interesting passage when I was studying Chinese today. The passage is written in Japanese; To put it simply in English, English-speakers who are the beginners of Chinese have a tendency that they can't use Kanji but they can pronounce Chinese well, while Japanese can't pronounce the language well but they can use Kanji. This tendency is caused by pinyin: the thing expresses the way of Chinese pronunciation with alphabet. English-speakers can understand it easily because they are used to seeing alphabet, but Japanese can't. On the other hand, Japanese can understand Kanji easily because they always use it too, but English-speakers can't. I felt this tendency was very interesting because I could know the cultural difference by studying the third country. Thank you for reading:)

A interesting tendency

I saw came across an interesting passage when I was studying Chinese today. The passage is written in Japanese; to put it simply in English, English-speakers who are the beginners of in Chinese have a tendency that they can't tend to be unable to use Kanji Hanzi but they can pronounce Chinese well, while/whereas Japanese can't pronounce the language well but they can use Kanji/Hanzi.
This tendency is caused by a result of using pinyin: the thing expresses the way of the representation of Chinese pronunciation (by romanisation) using the Latin with alphabet. English speakers can understand it easily because they are used to seeing an alphabet, but Japanese can't. On the other hand, Japanese can understand Hanzi/Kanji easily because they always use it too, but English-speakers can't.
I felt this tendency was very interesting because I could know learnt about a the cultural difference by while studying the a third country.

Hi sensei, just wanted to add.

I saw an interesting passage while I was studying Chinese today. 

an = is an alternate for "a" which is used when the word next to it starts with a vowel. So here, the word "interesting" starts with an "i" so you use "an".

A interesting tendency

I saw a interesting passage when I was studying Chinese today. The passage is written in Japanese; To put it simply in English, English-speakers who are the beginners of learning Chinese have a tendency that they can't use Kanji but they can pronounce Chinese well, while Japanese can't pronounce the language well but they can use Kanji.
This tendency is caused by pinyin: it expresses the way of Chinese pronunciation with an alphabet. English-speakers can understand it easily because they are used to seeing an alphabet, but Japanese can't. On the other hand, Japanese can understand Kanji easily because they always use it too, but English-speakers can't.
I felt this tendency was very interesting because I am able to recognize the cultural difference from studying the third country.

Thank you for reading:)
