About Japanese & Japanese Tutoring

Japanese, or Nihongo as it is known in Japan, is an East Asian language spoken by approximately 128 million people, primarily in Japan, where it is the national and dominant language. It is a member of the Japonic language family, which also includes other lesser-known languages spoken in the Ryukyu Islands.

Japanese is known for its complex system of honorifics reflecting the hierarchical nature of Japanese society, with verb forms and vocabulary which can express varying degrees of politeness. The language uses a combination of three scripts: Kanji, which are characters of Chinese origin, and two syllabaries—Hiragana and Katakana. Additionally, Romaji, the Latin script, is often used for company names, logos, and when inputting Japanese into a computer.

Types of Japanese range from the standard Tokyo dialect, which is considered the modern-day standard pronunciation and is taught in schools and used in the media, to numerous regional dialects that have varying levels of mutual intelligibility.

Japanese is intrinsically linked to the culture and society of Japan, embedded with cultural notions that can be seen in its vocabulary and grammar. It’s also important for understanding Japanese literature, music, films, and business practices.

For tutoring someone who struggles with Japanese, it's essential to adopt a strategy tailored to the learner’s needs. Active engagement with the language through immersion techniques can be highly effective. This could involve practicing conversation with native speakers, watching Japanese media, and incorporating language learning apps into daily practice. Students should start with learning the basic grammar structures and essential vocabulary before gradually moving on to more complex sentences and expressions. Consistent practice with the characters, particularly Kanji, is essential for achieving literacy at any significant level.

The most common concepts in Japanese include basic greetings like "Konnichiwa" (Hello), "Arigatou" (Thank you), and common phrases useful for everyday interactions. Counting, basic verbs, and the use of the two syllabaries—Hiragana and Katakana—are key foundational elements that are usually taught at the beginning of the language learning process.

Conversely, the most difficult concepts in Japanese typically involve mastering the thousands of Kanji, the use of Keigo (honorific speech), and the complex sentence structures that can be highly context-dependent. Grammatical particles, which dictate the function of a word in a sentence (subject, object, etc.), can also pose a challenge due to their subtle differences in usage. Moreover, the nuances in pronunciation, such as the distinction between short and long vowels, and pitch accent, can significantly affect meaning and therefore require careful attention.

In summary, Japanese is a rich and complex language with deep cultural roots. Its intricacies pose challenges for learners, but with the right strategies and consistent practice, fluency is attainable.
