Is learning two languages at the same possible? Is It Possible to Learn Two Languages at the Same Time? I'm currently learning Japanese. I can speak and read Chinese. My Chinese level is a big fat HSK 8, 8 more points to reach HSK 9. Having said that, I thought it would be beneficial to learn Japanese. Moreover, I can read and write traditional Chinese characters. Until I started to learn it, I was overwhelmed by the grammar, especially the articles. Most of the time, some Kanjis have totally different meanings. For instance, to study in Chinese is 学习, but in Japanese it's 勉強する。 While 勉強 in Chinese means to force somebody to do something. It would be a big help if I could understand the way the Japanese think. I had difficulty when I communicated with my Japanese friends. Most of the time, they talked to me implicitly. For example, I rarely heard they said 'no' to me explicitly when they actually refused my invitation. It puzzled me a lot. However, I'm sure that learning Japanese will give me a great of fun once I’m able to understand the Japanese culture. When there's a will, there's a way. Any grammar check, suggestion for naturalness, or writing style are much appreciated. Thank you. (Images by Romell House)
