- - - Hey students...it's very simple really. You have to learn those verbs and how to use them efficiently. Practice them daily. Use them. Speak out loud. I learned in grad school that you will make 250,000 errors before you become "minimally proficient" in Japanese...so do not be afraid to make errors. Practice. I used to tell my students that errors are "lessons in wisdom." So get started today and make lots of errors and "get them out of the way!" Is Japanese Language Difficult to Learn The answer is "yes" and "no". Yes, because, first of all, the Japanese language has a few sounds with five standard vowels and simple pronunciation scheme; syllables are formed by a single vowel or a consonant-vowel combination. For the grammar, there are few exceptions to its rules, and restrictions on sentence structure are not severe. A feature which makes the learning of Japanese difficult yet interesting is the fact that the way Japanese is spoken differs depending on whether the speaker is a man or a woman, and adult or a child. My best students were never hesitant to speak up and to try new utterances. You do the same and you can succeed! So get busy and check out all these helpful sites below that are aimed to help you become proficient in Japanese. Let me challenge you to check out each and every link on this site and I wish you good luck in your studies learning Japanese.
