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

english : we will need you to remember these 26 characters, they make up every word we have

japanese : we have 3,000+ kanji that make up our modern spoken and written tongue, you better memorize it and if you don't, we will call you stupid

To give some credit to speaking lanuages like Japaneese. The syntax of speaking these languages is actually a lot easier than English. Not much in the way of conjegations, just learn the small handful of tones (Japaneese only has 2, I learned Mandarin and that has 5), and it actually pretty easy to get to a point where you are actually speaking and able to hold conversations, at least compaired to English. There is just not as many weird conjegations that changes other words in the sentence depending on the sentence structure, different ways of making a word plural depending on the word, etc.

Writing and reading these languages are a completely different story, however. That is where the kanji/character memorization comes in, and thats like, 95% of the difficulty of the language. This is where the latin lettering system English use is handy.

Or for Japanese, they could just use Katakana or Hiragana, and don't give me any of that homophones nonsense--spoken language seems to manage with them just fine.
