Modern Japanese

The Japanese is studying various language now. English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean. Above all, English is the most popular in Japan now, because English is spoken in a lot of countries.
I think that Japanese value has fallen. When we are talking, we often use English. The Japanese who can speak English is very cool. There are a lot of people who think like this. A lot of Japanese are studying English now. The class of English starts from the junior high school. Recently, the chance to go to foreign countries increased. There are a lot of Japanese companies in the world. Also there are a lot of foreign companies in Japan. English is a language needed the most in the worlds now. Japanese is not more important than English. I think that the number of those who can speak English increased. However, I think that the person who can write the Chinese character has decreased. There are a lot of Chinese characters. We do not know a lot of Chinese characters. There are a lot of Japanese that we do not know. There are a lot of proverbs. We know only a part of proverb. The proverb is very interesting. I think that we should study Japanese more.
Japanese is more difficult than English, because English does not have the Chinese character. There is a katakana in Japanese, too. English has only the alphabet. When the foreigner comes to Japan, they are very embarrassed, because even if most of them can speak Japanese, it is not possible to read. For instance, it is very difficult for them to read the newspaper, because there are a lot of Chinese characters in the newspaper. And, the menu of the restaurant is written in Japanese. So I think that Japanese is more difficult than English. And, Japanese does borrow words from English. English is included in our conversation. We often use English by the daily conversation. However, we are not consciously using it. The "Benzyo" is called a toilet in English. When we want to borrow the toilet, we do not say that we will go to the "Benzyo". When we want to borrow the "Benzyo", we say that we will go to the toilet. I think that the "Benzyo" is dirty. However, I think that the toilet is clean. So I think when we want to borrow the toilet, we do not say that we will go to the "Benzyo". We often have reliance on one's friend. When we often have reliance on one's friend, the friend often answers as "Ok". Ok is a English. We often use word "Ok". Young people's and older people's use "Ok". Ok is a very easy to use word. The “Zyuunan” is called a stretch in English. When we want to do stretch, we do not say that we will do the “Zyuunan”. English is more popular than Japanese, but I think that Japanese is the most excellent language. It is important to study English. However , we should study Japanese more, and we should value Japanese.
