I have been studying Japanese as my third language for two years. Since my junior year high school, Japanese class was become my foreign language class. I have learned lots of interesting things by the time I get into deeper about Japanese Language, tradition, culture. I have discovered at some ways, Japan and China have a lot of things in common, such as their holidays, traditional celebrations, religion, etc. It really gives me the interests of learning Japanese.

Comparing the differences between China and Japan is one thing I like to do while I’m learning Japanese, in the way of technique, education, civilization, and history to determine what we should draw on from them. Learning Japanese is not only to get to know about Japan, but also a method to find out the achievements and history of such a great country.

During WW II, Japan surrendered to China as a defeated nation. Since then, China and Japan have stood at two opposite side of the world. When I was in China, I used to resist all kinds of productions that imported from Japan, however, after I get to know about Japan, I found out there are many positive things that I didn’t know about the relationship between China and Japan, this is also one of the benefits that I’ve got since I started taking Japanese class.


There is some basic knowledge about Japanese language:
There are 4 systems in the Japanese
Katakana
Hiragana
Kanji (Chinese)
Romaji

Also, there are some easy Japanese that I want to share:
Hello- Ko Ni Chi Wa
How are you? – Gin Ki De Su Ga?
I’m fine. – Gin Ki De Su Yo.
Good morning – O Hi Yo
Thank You- A Ri Ga Do
Good- Yi-De Su
Japan- Ni Hon
Japanese (person) – Ni Hon Jin
My name is..... – Watashi No Na mae Wa......De Su.
