My name is Yakumo Koretou.
I am learning English & Chinese language.
In Japan,normal student must learn English at school for 6 years.
But Most students can not speak English well.
Lots of students dislike learning English.
Because maybe Japanese language and English language are so different.
It is so difficult for us to learn and speak and hear English.
Next ,I want to talk about normal Japanese life.
I guess normal Japanese does not need to speak English in Japan.
We will speak only Japanese language at school,at company,at store, at home.
My friends were only Japanese people.
I did not have foreign friends in real till recently.
Do you think we need to speak other language in these lives?
I feel this is so convenient but I often forget there are another countries in the world.
I want to know the world I have not known.
I want to go to the Place I have never been to.
Then I do not think that much people of oversea can speak Japanese language.
And I will try to learn English at first.
By the way I have heard that Japanese language is so difficult for foreign people.
Recently I feel Japanese language is a little strange.
I guess maybe speaking and hearing Japanese language is not difficult.
But writing and reading is difficult.
The reasons are a Grammar and the letters ( characters ).
We learn the Japanese grammar at school.
In fact this is so difficult for Japanese students too.
It is so interesting that much student can not understand the Grammar correctly.
But Actually there are no many problems.
Because we can use Japanese language almost correctly,even if we do not understand the Grammar.
I guess maybe the reason that Japanese language is our native language. At last.
I want to talk about the letters (characters)
Usually we use 4 letters in our lives.
It is Hiragana ,Katakana,Romaji and Kanji.
we learn Hiragana and Katakana when we are children.(4-6 years old)
Romaji too,but I could not remember when I learned it.
( maybe 6-7 years old??)
Next it,We begin to learn Kanji.
Japanese people uses so much Kanji.
We must learn most of them finally.
We learn simple Kanji at first,when we are a small children.
And we need to learn difficult Kanji year by year.
Do you know that most Japanese students do not like learning Kanji?
Because they feel it is too much.
I also disliked learning Kanji.
Although I like learning Kanji now.
(I will write this reason next time)
I hope that people are learning Japanese language will know normal Japanese people also has the pain for learning Kanji.
And,
Please do not Give up learning Kanji^^
