Wait, is Japanese difficult? Hello, everyone who is learning Japanese. Fortunately, we are kind of in the same group. We are trying to do such a hard thing which is to learn different languages. Now that my English skills has recently reached some certain level which is enough to live in a normal life, I started to think about the differences between Japanese and English from so many aspects such as their pronunciation, grammar, even the speakers' attributes(which is really important). To be honest, it makes my mindset well-organized. Then this question abruptly came to my mind—Is Japanese difficult?—. It may be quite easy in a way. One of my Brazilian friends often says like "Japanese pronunciation is so easy." Although it seemingly sounds doubtful, it sort of make sense. Yes, Japanese pronunciation is simple whereas English pronunciation is "fucking" crazy and complicated to non-native speakers. To be honest with you guys, I've never seen anyone struggling with Japanese pronunciation. You can be more confident in your Japanese. That being said, Japanese suddenly get terribly hard when it comes to the grammar and the use. They are exactly what bothers Japanese learners. What do you think about the most troublesome thing in Japanese? Speaking of English, it is the worldwide language, so there might be no point in thinking about how hard English it is to learn to native speakers(very sorry if not). Let's call it a night :) I just got tired. My thoughts are so complicated and hard to write down and even to vocalize. That's what I dislike about myself. Well, I would really appreciate if you correct my messy passage. Have a good day :)

Wait, is Japanese that difficult?

Hello, everyone who is learning Japanese.

Fortunately, we are kind of in the same group boat. We are trying to do such a hard thing task which is to learn different languages.

(We are tying to accomplish such a hard task of mastering different languages.)

Now that my English skills has recently reached some a certain level which is enough to live in a normal life, I started to think about the differences between Japanese and English from so many aspects such as their pronunciation, grammar and even the speakers' attributes (which is really important).

(Attributes is a very broad word, do you mean characteristics? speaking manners?)

To be honest And by doing so, it makes my mindset well-organized.

Then this question abruptly came to my mind—Is Japanese difficult?—. It may be quite easy in a way. One of my Brazilian friends often says things like "Japanese pronunciation is so easy." Although it seemingly sounds doubtful, it sort of makes sense. Yes, Japanese pronunciation is simple whereas English pronunciation is "fucking" crazy and complicated to non-native speakers. To be honest with you guys, I've never seen anyone struggling with Japanese pronunciation. You can be more confident in your Japanese. That being said, Japanese suddenly gets terribly hard when it comes to the grammar and the usage. They are exactly what bothers Japanese learners.

What do you think about the most troublesome thing in Japanese is?

Speaking of English, it is the worldwide language, so there might be no point in thinking about how hard English it is to learn to native speakers(very sorry if not).

Speaking of English, it is known as a the worldwide language and there might not be thoughts of native english speakers of how hard english is.

(We do realise how hard english is! Speaking from my view, I come from a multi-cultural country, it's not uncommon to see people struggling to speak english and you soon realise that english is a hard language to master.)

Let's call it a night :) I just have got tired. My thoughts are so complicated and hard to write down and even to vocalize. That's what I dislike about myself.

Well, I would really appreciate if you correct my messy passage. Have a good day :)

[seemsingly/sounds]* Here, you can use either 'seems' or 'sounds', but I wouldn't use both. They have connotations which overlap.

[whereas]** Here, you can use either "where" or "whereas".

[is]*** You can either say, "What do you think is the most troublesome thing in Japanese?" or "What do you think the most troublesome thing in Japanese is?" Both are grammatically correct.

[to learn to native speakers(very sorry if not)]**** I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say, here. Sorry!

[I would really appreciate if you could correct my messy passage.]***** Here, I would say either, "I really appreciate if you correct my messy passage" or "I would really appreciate if you could correct my passage".

I hope my correction helps!

As an English speaker perspective, I do think some certain English speaking countries have it easier speaking Japanese. Strong English accents have it difficult speaking Japanese than weaker English accents. For example, Americans have a very strong accent and it's hard to get away from the tones that they use - and they apply it to Japanese pronunciation. Where as New Zealand accent is very lazy and monotone, we have no tones so it's easier to learn Japanese tones. Another way to think about it, New Zealand accent is like a dog that is easier to teach new tricks to because it hasn't learn any tricks, while American accent already has tricks it's learnt before. Thanks for the awesome read!

For me (I am Russian) Japanese pronounciation does not look too difficult. The only thing that embarasses is Japanese tones, which are absent in Russian and other Europen languager (as far as I know). The grammar is somewhat complicated though compared to Russian it's very regular and thus not too hard to understand and memorize. Moreover, it has a certiain similarity to the Russian one (I mean noun cases and others). But both the Kanji and the Kana are a real trouble!!!

I have mixed feeling about learning Japanese - difficult and easy. In some way Japanese and Mandarin, which is my first language, are quite similar in terms of pronunciation and writing system. As far as I know kanji is a pain in the ass to most of the people, but I can pick it up at my fingertips as soon as I see the word. What gives me the hard time is to learn the grammar. The sentence structure, in particular, is totally opposite of the one in any languages I know (Eng: I eat rice; Jpn: I rice eat), it just doesn't naturally come out of my head.
