How hard is it really to learn Japanese? Well the good news it that it is not that hard and you can learn simple Japanese conversation in a matter of weeks. When I started I bought a learn Japanese course online (sponsored affiliate link) and it took me about 8 weeks to be able to hold a basic conversation, however to become fluent in Japanese can take some years, and the best way to achieve this is by living in Japan where you can't rely on English.

Now of course I am referring to becoming confident in basic conversational Japanese, however if you want to master advanced dialogue, and reading and writing all three Japanese writing scripts including Kanji then it obviously become more difficult.

Why is it not that hard to learn Japanese conversation?

The biggest reason is because the Japanese language has a lot less sounds than English or other languages and on top of that the sounds they do have are always consistent.

Let me explain what I mean...In English our vowels can be pronounced in a number of different ways which is very confusing if you are learning. For example the word 'eye' is pronounced like the word 'I' so you can forgive a person learning English for thinking the word 'eye' word have the same vowel sounding 'e' as the word 'pen' but of course they don't. In Japanese they don't have this problem as all the vowels ALWAYS sound the way they are written.

Therefore in answering the question 'how hard is it to learn Japanese conversation?' My response is 'not as hard as English!'

Now another point that I would like to address is the fact that Japanese words can be written in 'Romaji' which is Japanese using English letters. The great thing about Romaji is that when you learn Japanese (sponsored affiliate link) with a course then you don't have to read Japanese characters to pick up the language. This means that you can read Japanese words straight away and learn Japanese conversation in a matter of days.

Of course at some point if you need to learn Japanese reading and writing then you will be required to learn the Japanese characters, but they are not that hard to learn either especially if you get a good online Japanese writing course,(sponsored affiliate link) like anything it just takes time and regular practice, and is something that you build over time.

I need to stress that learning Japanese is not that hard IF you have a good teacher or Japanese course. I learn Japanese online and it took me months of careful research to find the best learn Japanese course.(sponsored affiliate links)

Let me just explain why learning Japanese online is so much better. There are a few reasons, the first being that the cost is unbeatable! Because there are no private tuition fees, classroom overhead costs, travel cost, shipping charges etc...then you as the user get a quality product at a lower price.

Another reason is that thanks to technology the courses available use state of the art multimedia applications that are simply outstanding and they work extremely well, which means it's not that hard to learn Japanese conversation.

So to answer the question: 'how hard is it to learn Japanese conversation?' well the answer is 'not that hard', because the Japanese language has easy sounds, Romaji being easy to read, the internet providing state of the art online learn Japanese courses that you can do from the comfort of home, in fact it's never been easier to learn Japanese!!

My last word of encouragement for you is that it is never to late too learn a language so don't let anyone sow those seeds of doubt and say that when you reach a certain age you can't learn new languages, what a load of baloney, I don't know where that rumour came from, it's certainly not agreed on by linguists.
