Japanese has over 125 million speakers. It's only widely spoken in Japan, but it is a great language to know. If you need to fulfill a foreign language requirement to graduate from a local school like Woodrow Wilson High School or Columbia Heights Education Campus, learning Japanese is a great way to do that. Because of the globalized nature of the modern business world, knowing a language like Japanese can lead to greater career opportunities. If you are majoring in Japanese at Georgetown University, receiving extra study assistance could help you to improve your studies.
What can I learn about during Washington DC Japanese lessons?
Japanese functions as a language very differently than English. English has a number of verb tenses that help the language communicate about time very precisely. However, in Japanese, there are only two verb tenses: past and non-past. Japanese words are represented by a single character that stands for the entire word. Almost no Japanese words are able to be changed to reflect different grammatical uses. There are few ways to indicate whether a noun is singular or plural. In Japanese word order, the verb must be the last word in the sentence, but there are no other specific rules. All of these factors mean that English speakers studying Japanese must master a variety of new skills and concepts. Because each word has its own character, studying vocabulary is much more difficult. Rather than learning to read a fixed number of letters to decipher words, you must memorize thousands of characters and know how to write them. Knowing how to effectively use context is an essential aspect of understanding a language that offers less concrete grammatical information than many others.
Studying a language like Japanese can be easier if it is done in a structured context. Working with an expert in the language can help you to know which parts to study first and how to build off of that foundation. Additionally, formal language learning can help you to develop good habits from the beginning of your study. These sorts of environments can also offer great opportunities to practice your conversational abilities. Holding conversations in a foreign language is one of the most effective ways to deepen your understanding. This is because conversations require you to navigate a number of skills and topics in real-time.
