If Japaneese was the international buisness language, I am sure we all would know Japaneese too.

When I was in college and taking Linguistics, my professor was a Japanophile and Japanese language expert, and she said that while she spoke Japanese, she would never speak or understand it like a native.

I also like watching videos of people who have moved to Japan and their experiences there, and one thing a huge proportion of them talk about is how difficult it is to master Japanese. Some admit they’ve lived there for years and still only have a “working” knowledge of it.

Learning any language is difficult, but one benefit of English is its RELATIVE simplicity. The spelling is absolutely atrocious, but the speaking language is far less complex: There are only two present-tense verb inflections, as opposed to six or more; it does not possess variations in pronouns and grammar depending on rank; objects do not possess gender, outside of popular jargon, such as referring to ships as “she”.
