Detailed explanation-1: -If you are a native speaker of English, learning Japanese can seem like an ambitious endeavor. In fact, the US Foreign Service Institute considers Japanese to be one of the most difficult languages to learn for an English speaker (along with Arabic, Chinese, and Korean).

Detailed explanation-2: -First of all, Japanese pronunciation is so much simpler than English! All five vowels in Japanese already exist in English, so that’s one barrier out of the way. Moreover, Japanese words are pronounced exactly the way they are written, so there’s no need to search up the dictionary every time you see a new word.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you are a native English speaker, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic and Korean are the toughest languages to learn-taking an average of 2200 hours to reach a certain proficiency level. In comparison, Indian languages like Hindi, Urdu, and Bengali take half as much time, according to a list by US Foreign Service Institute.
