I am not sure how well you can speak English currently, nor how old you are, but I have a couple of advices for Japanese people to gain enough ability to speak English.1. Forget about the pronunciation you learned/practiced at school!You should first know that English education in Japan is just a garbage.They force to pronounce as Katakana English in many cases, and once if you pronounced properly as English, your classmates regard you as a bit snobbish person.Forget all about it! English is English!You have to prepare an English pronunciation chart and practice it over and over. And if possible, hire a teacher to fix your pronunciation.If you master pronunciation, you'll have courage to speak to any English speaking people around you.2. Forget about learning English words!I guess you were trying to memorize thousands of English words by buying books such as "Most used NNNN English words". (NNNN would be order of 3000-10000)Unfortunately, they are completely useless, because those books are just an English-Japanese dictionary ordered by frequency in real world.English teachers at school recommend such books very often, but you should not obey them.First you have to do is learning how to express within the word knowledge you currently have.There are some really important words such as 'have', 'get', 'take' and 'make'.You should practice many sentences which include those elementary words.3. Forget about Japanese language!English education in Japan is not 'English education', but 'English-Japanese translator education program'.Every time you learned in the classroom, I guess they taught an English sentence and its Japanese translated sentence at the same time and asked to translate English sentences into Japanese precisely word by word and idiom by idiom.So, many students in Japan are brainwashed that understanding English is translating it into Japanese in the speed of light. That's impossible for ordinary people except professional simultaneous translators.I guess at least you can understand "This is a pen." without translating. You should train, for longer sentences, not to translate into Japanese as possible as you can. You have ability to understand English as it is.Using language is an essential human nature.It is not too late for you to start today. Good luck.

There are four words: 嫌い 平和 愛 戦士If they were intended in this order, the message is pro-war:"Hate" "Peace" "Love" "Warrior"

When a Chinese sees Japan, they see “what if the Tang Dynasty survived to the modern day as a rump state on an island in the middle of nowhere?”A much better question is what is something that many people think are from Japan but is really NOT from Chinese culture?It’s quite challenging.I think most significant would be the Shinto religion and related cultural protocols like festivals (matsuri), hot springs (onsen), and sumo wrestling.Some novel entertainment concepts, from karaoke (‘empty orchestra”) and themed cafés have nothing to do with China.The most significant thing that is really from Japan, but many people think are from China: Modern Chinese vocabulary.There are Japan-only Chinese characters (and fyi, there are also Korea-only, and Vietnam-only Chinese characters too). One famous example is touge 峠 “mountain pass” and now means racing on a mountain pass, à la Initial D.On a related note, many Words of modern concepts mostly came into the Sinosphere world during the Meiji Restoration era when Japan was absorbing as much knowledge from the West as possible. Japanese scholars pored ancient Chinese literature to come up with modern words for modern concepts like republic (共和國), economics (經濟), telephone (電話) — just to name a few.The irony is that modern Japanese resort to transliterations instead of Kanji-based vocabulary. It has caused an interesting phenomenon where older Japanese don’t understand some words that are a splatter of Katakana—one time I translated Japanese to Japanese for an older Japanese gentleman, because I recognised the English root of a word in Katakana (something to do with information systems), and then I showed him the translation in Traditional Chinese (aka Kyujitai Kanji), getting a satisfying “aaaaahhhhh soouu ka” (“ah, that’s what it is!”) from him.
