Why Japanese are Horrible at English
на канале: Let's ask Shogo | Your Japanese friend in Kyoto
There is data showing that the biggest complaint of foreign tourists who traveled to Japan was that they could not communicate in English.
Why do Japanese people have such poor English (despite them having compulsory education)?
1. Japanese and English are different language combinations
Studies have shown that Japanese and English are the most difficult combination to learn. It’s because they differ significantly in all aspects of vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Some languages can be learned in about 600 hours, whereas English requires about 2200 to 3000 hours.
2. Insufficient English education
English education in Japan is solely for evaluating students with paper-based tests. Therefore, they only decipher sentences and hardly practice actual conversation.
And, students only have about 790 hours of study time in compulsory education in the first place.
3. Lack of an environment where English is required
Although Japan may have the image of being a small island nation, it actually has the 11th largest population in the world. Therefore, there was an environment in which people could survive as long as they engaged in business in their own country using Japanese.
However, with the continuing decline of the population and the weakening of the economy, lacking English skills will result in terrible consequences for future generations.
