Japanese
Learning Japanese offers significant advantages in sectors like technology, automotive, and finance, as Japan is the world's third-largest economy. It also provides a gateway to understanding a rich, millennia-old culture. English speakers typically need to know around 2,000 Kanji characters and additional Kana for basic literacy. Achieving general proficiency often requires 1,300-2,200 hours of study, partly due to three writing systems: Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana. Key grammatical concepts include particles like 'wa' and 'ga' to mark subject and topic, and verb forms that express tense and politeness level. Mastery allows for nuanced communication and deeper cultural understanding, both in business and social contexts.
