The reason why Japanese is difficult janguage. Japanese is considered by many people that one of the most difficult language in the world in terms of grammar and writing system. In the first place, Japanese people are a minority as an ethnicity in the world. Therefore the language itself is not permeating in the world as well.

The reason why Japanese is a difficult language.

Japanese is considered by many people to be one of the most difficult languages in the world in terms of its grammar and writing system. In the first place, Japanese people are a minority as an ethnicity in the world. Therefore the language itself is not permeating throughout the world as well as other languages. I think that's the part of the reason why Japanese is a difficult language.


Hello Naoki,

I suspect that Japanese is not so difficult for other speakers of script such as Chinese and possibly Korean. Speakers of western languages have problems for three main reasons. The first one is the alphabet (or syllabury) which is completely different from the Roman alphabet on which many western languages are based.

The second problem is the fact that the grammar rules are completely different from many western languages. I know because I am struggling to get to grips with the even the most basic grammar! I suspect that once I crack that it will all start to make sense!

The last reason is that some of the sounds in Japanese are different from English. Japanese speakers have one sound which is a cross between 'l' and 'r' with possibly a bit of 'd' thrown in for good measure.

On the other hand many people are fascinated by Japanese people and culture and really want to get to grips with it in spite of the difficulties.

Best wishes


Bob
