Comments on: Speaking Japanese is hard but English is even harder http://www.jamaipanese.com/speaking-japanese-is-hard-but-english-is-even-harder/ A Blog by a Proud Jamaican and Japan Enthusiast Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:49:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: kirin http://www.jamaipanese.com/speaking-japanese-is-hard-but-english-is-even-harder/comment-page-1/#comment-7411 kirin Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:08:12 +0000 #comment-7411 Too bad the video is no longer available. But I know how different Japanese and English are and I can tell that as a native Japanese speaker!! I have no idea what it'd be like from English to Japanese, but there are so many of Japanese people struggling with listening and speaking English, which is so true. In my case, as I studied English very hard and I have some experience of living and working in the U.S and Australia, I have almost no big problems in communication in English. (But I had many harsh experiences in the U.S when I spoke poor English. So I had to improve it by all means to live in there!) But it's so sad that most of Japanese people still cannot use English properly after 10 years of study in school. [japan] Too bad the video is no longer available.

Proving your point partially (suffixes!) But Japanese is seriously hard to learn! The main point is contrast. English and Japanese are very different languages, so being a native of one and learning the other is very difficult but achieveable. (something is probably wrong in this, no-ones perfect) [japan] ha ha… Proving your point partially (suffixes!)

I even know fluent English speaker's who have problems differentiating between their and there and one of the most common ones, then and than. I applaud those who are trying the language as it is one hell of a task. English isn’t something people can really pick up quickly due to all the stupid grammar and suffix’s we have.
