Outside Japan, there are approximately 5 million people who speak Japanese with some degree of fluency &#8211; predominantly descendants of Japanese emigrants in Hawaii, Brazil and other parts of the Americas.<\/p>\n<h2>Grammar<\/h2>\n<p>It is a unique language in many ways, but it does have the advantage of having relatively simple grammar. Unlike some of the complex European languages, there aren&#8217;t any complicating factors such as gender articles, and it doesn&#8217;t make distinctions between plural and singular. Rules for verbs and adjectives are simple and almost free of exceptions and nouns appear always in the same form.<\/p>\n<h2>Pronunciation<\/h2>\n<p>Pronunciation poses little problems to most learners. The biggest difficulty are accents, which do exist, but to a much lower extent than in the Chinese language; if you come from a Latin-based language the only difficulty is not accenting.<\/p>\n<p>One thing they do share with the English language are homonyms, words that are pronounced the same way, but have different meanings. Rules are often based around the relationship\u00a0and status of the people talking. For instance, there are more than five different words for the English word &#8220;I&#8221;, which are used differently depending on the context.<\/p>\n<p>For formal situations, a honorific language level,\u00a0<em>keigo,<\/em>\u00a0is still in common use. But for many people, including native speakers, this doesn&#8217;t impact day to day interaction or\u00a0get in the way of non-Japanese people engaging.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Japanese notions of <em>wa<\/em> or harmony affords\u00a0non-Japanese native speakers respect no matter clumsily they speak, simply because they have made the effort to try.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15072 size-half-width\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-720x540.jpg\" alt=\"Three happy Japanese people putting their thumbs up in a bar\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-564x423.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-390x293.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC09788-510x383.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Speaking<\/h2>\n<p>As aforementioned, the Japanese have less accents than many other languages:<\/p>\n<p>a: as in mat &gt; <em>mada<\/em> \/ yet<\/p>\n<p>i: as in hid &gt; <em>ima<\/em> \/ now<\/p>\n<p>u: as in put &gt; <em>muzukashii<\/em> \/ difficult<\/p>\n<p>e: as in bed &gt; <em>sumimasen<\/em> \/ excuse me<\/p>\n<p>o: as in cot &gt; <em>gomen nasai<\/em> \/ I\u2019m sorry<\/p>\n<p>Accents occur mainly in stresses where there is a double consonant:<\/p>\n<p><em>tanoshikatta<\/em> \/ it was fun<\/p>\n<p>or when the <em>o<\/em> is followed by an <em>u<\/em> effectively \u201cstretching\u201d the <em>o<\/em> sound:<\/p>\n<p><em>arigatou<\/em> \/ thankyou *most simply pronounced as <em>arigatoh<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Basic and Useful Phrases<\/h2>\n<p>Using even a basic level of the language in a country one is visiting really changes and enhances the experience.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Eigo<\/em> \/ English language<\/h3>\n<p>hai \/\u00a0<strong>Yes<\/strong><br \/>\niie \/ <strong>No<\/strong><br \/>\ndoko?
