Japanese is the most popular East Asian language in the world, with a total of 128 million speakers.
This figure is expected to continue to rise, owing to the popularity of the language, which can be directly connected to their entertainment sector as well as the vitality of their culture. Furthermore, the language has a rich history as well as intriguing mythology, both of which draw many non-native speakers.
Let’s now see if the Japanese language is useful to learn in the United States of America.
Most of us tend to master languages to be able to utilise the beneficial and advantageous nature of those specific languages.
Therefore, when we have a target industry or country in mind, we always tend to learn a language that would be useful in that specific industry or in that specific country. On the other hand, sometimes a language could intrigue us but that language might not be very useful in our target industry or a target country. In this blog, we will discuss if the Japanese is even useful in the United States of America.
There is absolutely no doubt Japanese is one of the most popular languages, especially the most popular East Asian language in the world.
Furthermore, this language is super beneficial in nature especially for those individuals who wish to travel to Japan, work in Japan or study in Japan. With that said, this language is not as popular in the western world especially in the United States of America.
In America, English and Spanish are the most popular languages. They are popularly utilised and commonly spoken around the country.
In fact, the European word utilises French and German as opposed to English and Spanish which is only popular in the United States of America. Therefore, if you are planning to learn Japanese and then travel to America, you are not going to have much luck with the language. This is simply because most of the residents of the United States of America do not speak or even know the language of Japanese.
Hence, Japanese is not as popular in America when compared in other languages like English or Spanish.
Through this blog, we have explored all the different reasons and discussed all the different bases which make the language of Japanese not as useful in the United States of America.
The language of English tends to be way more popular and much more useful when it comes to this country. This is not because the language of Japanese is not worth learning but it is simply because most of the inhabitants of this country tend to stick to their mother tongue of English and do not venture out to learn East Asian languages as much. This makes learning Japanese quite redundant in the country.
