With the notorious reputation of being the Most challenging language for any English native speaker to master, Japanese is probably the most famous East Asian language.
With a total of 128 million speakers across the globe, there is no doubt that this language is on the rise. Most of the Japanese language’s popularity can simply be attributed to their vibrant culture as well as the entertainment industry which has taken the entire world by storm.
Let’s now see if knowing the language of Japanese is even useful in the country of UK.
There are many different languages in the world which tend to be beneficial for different reasons.
With that said, certain languages are only advantages in a specific country or in a specific industry or any specific stream. If the said language is utilised in a different country or a different stream or a different industry, it might not be as appreciated or even as useful. Therefore, before mastering the language, if you have a certain industry, stream or country that you wish to live in, it is always important to gauge whether the said language would be useful in either of those situations.
In this blog, we will discuss if learning Japanese would be Who is full for you if you were to live in the UK.
Japanese is an East Asian language that is very popular in the western world as well as the European world specifically due to its entertainment industry and the culture that is followed in Japan. With that said if you wish to master this language for career or job prospects, then this language might not be useful in the western European world. This is because the western world tends to prefer English over all other languages and Europe in the world tends to prefer French or German over all other languages. As the demand for these languages grows, so does this apply for each of these languages, therefore making it a continuous chain.
While it is true that Japanese MNCs and the Japanese industry have taken over the global industry, there is no doubt that English is still more prevalent than any other language.
Hence, if you learn Japanese simply to enjoy the Japanese culture industry even if you’re living in the UK, then there is no problem whatsoever. With that said if you want to learn it to improve your career prospects or job opportunities, then I do not suggest mastering the language of Japanese as it would not be very useful. You might come across one or two Japanese speakers but you will definitely not use it as much as you could have.
In this blog we have discussed several reasons why learning the language of Japanese is beneficial but not in the UK.
This does not mean that the language of Japanese is not useful at all. It is the most popular East Asian language, there is no doubt that this language is extremely advantageous in nature. With that said such advantages can only be availed in certain industries, countries and streams. It is extremely important to remember that you cannot expect a specific language to be useful in every single country, industry or even stream for that matter. But just because it is not popular or commonly utilised in that country, doesn’t make the language any less useful.
