On Learning Japanese
There are many reason that one might want to learn Japanese. Some people are interested in Japanese because of the cultural phenomenon that many products from Japan have become… from video games to anime.
Japan is also liked by many people because it has a strong traditional culture and a very strong business culture which has promoted Japan to being the second largest economy in the world.
Japanese can be mastered and you can become proficient in it just like any other language, however, we must remember a few things if we want to truly be successful.
Japanese is more difficult to learn than a European language because Japanese uses kanji which are characters far different from the letters that make up our alphabet.
Spanish or French, on the other hand, use the same script as English and also share many words because English borrowed a great number of words from these languages and other Latin influences thus resulting in many cognates between the languages. This means that you can pick up a great number of words simply because they are very similar to the English equivalents.
This does not mean that learning Japanese is impossible, but rather that it is a bit more difficult to learn.
What this truly means is that you must have a strong desire to learn that Japanese language if you are going to be successful in becoming proficient in it.
If you really want to get to that high level in Japanese, you have to make sure that these reasons are foremost in your heart.
This can either be your interest in something like anime or it can be something like a business investment for your future.
This will mean that your journey of studying Japanese will be kept well even though it is a strong one. So, keep studying and every time you feel that you are growing weak in your resolve to learn Japanese, remember the reason you want to learn it and keep that pushing you forward. Good luck!
