Common English mistakes Japanese speakers make
These mistakes are extremely common when translating from Japanese to English. Fixing them quickly will make your English sound more natural.
- Putting the verb at the end: 'I the store to went' instead of 'I went to the store'
- Adding vowel sounds to consonant clusters: 'desuku' instead of 'desk'
- Translating Japanese topic particles literally: 'As for me, English is studying' instead of 'I am studying English'
- Using extremely formal language in casual settings — Japanese politeness levels do not map to English
Tip: Pick 3 mistakes and practice them daily for a week.
