Course Description
There are 128 million Japanese speakers in the world.
The Japanese name for Japan is Nihon, or Nippon, which translates as ‘land of the rising sun’.
Japanese uses three different alphabets: Hiragana, which is a traditional Japanese alphabet; Katakana, another Japanese alphabet which is used for foreign words; and Kanji, which are Chinese characters, although the Japanese meaning is often different.
Japanese is one of the most unique languages of the world, in that it does not have any obvious links to any other languages.
Fun fact – There are over 500 Sushi bars in London!
