Hello.

The Swiss mountains are in need of jackets in the morning and evening.

A thought occurred to me from our exchange at breakfast this morning.

When I cut a banana in half and showed him,

Me: "Did you see that?"
Opponent: "I saw it."

In Japanese, this is all that is required.

But in English...

Did you see that?"
Yes, I saw it."

If the subject and object are not properly included, the message will not be understood.

Japanese is a language that "can be omitted and still be understood by others.

English is a language that is "properly structured to communicate to others without misunderstanding.

I felt that this difference in cultural backgrounds makes it difficult for Japanese to learn English.

Knowing the origins of the language and cultural differences may make learning English a little easier.

I hope to continue to share such perspectives with you through my daily realizations.

Have you ever been surprised by the difference between Japanese and English? Have you ever been surprised by the difference between Japanese and English?
