Learning Japanese Language

Learning Japanese involves understanding grammar, pronunciation, the writing system, and acquiring adequate vocabulary. While the sound system is simple compared with other languages, the writing system and certain words that have a close connection with Japanese culture may prove to be difficult. Those who speak a language involving Chinese characters may find learning kanji easy. A large number of learners come from Australia, China, and Korea. The Japanese government has provided some standard tests to measure the ability to speak Japanese for non-Japanese speakers. Among them is the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). The motivation to learn Japanese is usually an opportunity of a job in Japanese companies or access to Japanese pop and sub cultures. Unlike languages like Chinese, knowing standard Japanese suffices most of the time but it may be necessary to be familiar with local dialects on some occasions. Many learners testify that reading manga and watching anime helps quite a lot.
