What is the difference between English and Japanese ?

    What is the difference between English and Japanese ? Do you know it ? It is very easy for people learning the English to find. It are pronunciation, letter, vocabulary and grammer and so on. These things is very different from Japanese, but these thing is natural things. Because the language in itself is different at all. When I’m learning the English, I’m feeling the difference of grammer. I will give a example of difference. “I’m playing soccer. ” The translation of Japanese is “Watashi ha sakker(soccer) wo shiteimasu” The subject of “I” is same thing that it is the first. How ever, next word in English is the verb of “play ”. Compared with it, next word in Japanese is the object of “soccer” . This can understand everyone like natural thing, but this is big difference between English and Japanese. It may become difficult to learn for Japanese because of grammer’s difference. It is certain that I said that there is big difference in word order. However, there is one difference in that. It is exchange of word order. I will give a example of it. “My mother gave me much money.” The translation of Japanese is “Haha ha watashi ni takusan no okane wo kureta.” If I exchange this sentence, it is “Watashi ni takusan no okane wo kureta, haha ha.” In this case,this can make myself understand. However, in case of English, if I exchange this sentence, it is “Gave me much money, my mother.” This sentence is catched mean of difference at all. This also is one difference of grammer. I wil think that it is difficult to master the English because of these things. And except for this grammer, there is one difference between English and Japanese. It is the Japanese coinage from English. It may be thought like the English. However, it don’t resemble the English at all. The Japanese coinage from English often is used in Japan now. The Japanese coinage from English was made by imitating the English and completed fake English. Well, let me put a question to you. Which is the Japanese coinage from English in four words ? One is “image-up ”,two is “close-up”, three is “slowdown” and four is “speedup”.The right answer is “image-up” of one. By the way, it is “improve the image ”in the English.Did you know ? It is very difficult to distinguish like such the question. And the Japanese coinage from English is made in Japan. Moreover this can’t make itself understood. This thing may become big problem to learn the English for us people learning the English because we may be learning which don’t use. As aresult these, there is the decisive difference between English and Japanese. However, these difference may be interesting. You must not think that thinking that Japanese can’t master English is natural. If you are more matter-of-fact about it these difference, I think that you can discover various thing and pleasantly learn English. And if you understand the difference between English and Japanese very well and perfectly mastered the English, you must become person that can feel emotion in both the point of view of standpoint.
