>>509018957Fun facts about the Japanese language:
1) They can't read books from before 1950 without a modern translation.
2) The spoke and written language weren't standardized until the 1920s, even to this day written Japanese is almost an entirely different language from how its spoken.
3) Furigana on everything. Imagine needing subtitles to read your own language, well you don't need to if you're Japanese.
4) 10% of the language is gairaigo, so you can enjoy what sounds like pidgin English between every other phrase. Like the word 'drama' becomes 'dorama' or 'image' becomes 'imeji'. So learning English means you already come with a large portion of Japanese vocabulary.
There's absolutely no actual Japanese that make speaking a language their only personality trait, this is almost exclusively a gaijin phenomenon. Literally every single Japanese learning community is full of idiots who blame everything on language competency because they have no other skillset to offer other than speaking a language that's somewhere between Chinese Esperanto and pidgin English.
