Japanese is widely known to be one of the toughest languages to learn. However, given the mix of western and Chinese influences and the culture directly impacting how the language is spoken, it also makes Japanese one of the most fascinating languages to learn.
Did you know?
1 - Japanese isn’t tonal in nature. In other words, different inflections of a word do not change the meaning. That said, native speakers often vary pitch accents to differentiate between homophones.
2 - There Are Different Levels of Formality -For example, a simple word like “please” could be said in totally different ways, depending on one’s status during the conversation, or even one’s occupation.
