How to Learn Japanese More Efficiently


About how to Learn Japanese More Efficiently, it's very simple. There's no method. You can follow the following rules.
1. Do not hesitate to speak in it
2. Do not mind a small mistake or big mitake
3. Understand the difficulty of Japanese kanji.

Yeah, if you learn Japanese, you have to memorize 3 types of letters. One of them is Hiragana and Katakana. They are much simple than kanji, which is the most difficult part to learn Japanese language, also for Japanese native speakers. Of course, me too.


I went to a castle in Kyoto. That is beautiful. This time I don't talk about the beauty of the castle. In the photo, there's a blue street sign with a street's name, "Bifuku dori".


It's written "美福通り" in Japanese. It looks very difficult, if you don't know the kanji. BUT,


The kanji is really difficult also for Japanese. Because there're more that 10,000 kanji in a dictionary. And also, they have some pronunciations each. "美" is normally "Bi ". But it can be pronounced as "Mi". And if in the end of 美 there's しい, you have to pronounce "Utukushii", which is "美しい".


Yeah, that is difficult. But, don't worry. A city officer or government officer made the mistake. If you watch the sign carefully, you will find "M" behind "B". It was erased. And on the "M" a officer print "B".

Of course, a human being makes a mistake, not all the time, but sometimes.
Don't worry about it, when you learn the difficult language!
