Biggest challenges for Japanese speakers learning English
If you know what’s hard in advance, you can learn faster. These are the main things that slow down Japanese speakers when they learn English.
- •Japanese is SOV — the verb always comes at the very end of the sentence
- •Japanese has completely different politeness levels built into the grammar itself
- •English consonant clusters do not exist in Japanese — every consonant has a vowel attached
- •Japanese has no articles — 'a', 'an', and 'the' are entirely foreign concepts
Focus on one challenge at a time. Small daily practice beats long study sessions.
