Learn English from Japanese the way people actually speak it

私は英語を早く学びたいです。

→I want to learn English quickly.

💡 Japanese puts 'want' at the end as part of the verb form. In English the desire 'want' comes right after the subject — the structure is almost completely reversed.

私は3年間英語を勉強しています。

→I have been studying English for three years.

💡 Japanese uses the te-iru form for ongoing actions. English uses the present perfect continuous. Both express the same ongoing situation but the construction is very different.

もう少しゆっくり話してもらえますか？

→Could you speak a little more slowly?

💡 Japanese polite requests use a complex auxiliary structure. English uses 'could you' — much simpler but Japanese speakers often make it sound overly formal or robotic.

もっと勉強していたら、試験に合格していただろう。

→If I had studied more, I would have passed the exam.

💡 Japanese counterfactual conditionals use the ta-ra or nara form. English uses the third conditional. Both express the same regret about the past but with very different constructions.

英語はとても大切な言語です。

→English is a very important language.

💡 This is one of the few sentence structures where Japanese and English feel relatively similar. Note that English requires the article 'a' before 'language' — Japanese has no equivalent.
