In the pronunciation part, because Japanese pronunciation is less than English pronunciation, Japanese is actually relatively easy. In fact, there are pronunciation words in Chinese, some of which may only be heard in dialects, but as China people, the pronunciation of these two languages can be mastered, and there is no possibility that long-term pronunciation habits will lead to physiological inability to pronounce them like this.
As for vocabulary, because the basic semantic unit of English is words, and Japanese is influenced by China culture, Chinese characters have been introduced, so besides the original Japanese words, there are also basic semantic unit words commonly used in isolated languages. In memory, it is much more convenient than English. This aspect is simple because of our mother tongue. )
Grammar: Actually, the grammar of both languages is similar. The problem is that Japanese grammar has not been simplified, and English grammar has been simplified since19th century, so subjunctive mood is rarely used now, while Japanese honorifics are still used. This part of English will be easier to learn.
Therefore, it is difficult to introduce the topic in Chinese and English, mainly because it takes a lot of time to remember pronunciation and vocabulary. After these foundations are laid, there are actually no obstacles in grammar. The more you learn Japanese, the more difficult it is. Because the pronunciation is very simple, most words can be memorized in Chinese characters, so you can get started quickly. However, due to the grammar of honorifics and the word order of Japanese, it is "subject-object-predicate" rather than the "subject-predicate-object" order commonly used in English and Chinese, you will feel uncomfortable and need to read for a long time to get into the habit.
In the final analysis, there is no difficulty in learning a foreign language. The key is to study hard or not.
You know, the hardest language to learn is our national talent. It is recognized by academic circles that it has the longest development time and the most developed language system is Chinese. Naturally, it is also the most difficult to learn Chinese (even few people in China can master Chinese). You can speak Chinese. What language can be more difficult than Chinese? The simplification of English grammar was completed by China people in the Qin Dynasty in 200 BC. In other words, after nearly 5000 years of development, Chinese has evolved from a cohesive language to an isolated language, and the evolution of this language has not yet begun in English, and Japanese has barely completed part of it by adding Chinese characters.
