Is it difficult to learn Japanese?
Seen from the comfort of our home, the Mishima language often seems tremendously difficult. It has a different alphabet, totally different terms from ours, etc. Sure, all of that does not bode well. However, can we even say that it is a difficult language to learn ? What if we tell you that Japanese is quite similar to English? Will you believe us? Because that’s the way it is, look:
Final → «ending» → endingu
Football → «soccer» → sakkaa
Rest → «half-time» → haafu taimu
Referee → «referee» → «refurii»
Microphone → “mic” → maiku (マ イ ク)
Table → «table» → teeburu (テ ー ブ ル)
However, that is not the only thing that makes it an easy language. There is also the following:
The absence of feminine and masculine gender.
There is no agreement between subject and verb.
It is not mandatory to pronounce the subject and the direct object.
Syllables are only pronounced one way.
Learn Japanese through video games: Is it difficult to learn Japanese?
For the large number of children who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s , video games became a great way to discover the Japanese language . Especially thanks to Nintendo and its consoles, European and American children have been able to get started in a distant language and in a diametrically different culture.
So, can we learn Japanese thanks to video games ? Yes of course. Since the 1980s, Japan has set out to invade the planet with video games made in Japan and in Japanese. In this way, millions of children have been able to familiarize themselves with “kanji”, “hiragana” or “katakana” and become true “geeks” of the language. And if before we learned the language with Tekken, Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy, Tetris or Street Fighters, now video games are much more focused on teaching the language. In fact, some have been conceived solely and exclusively with that objective in mind, namely:
