How can I learn Japanese and English at the same time?

I graduated 12 years ago with a bachelor's degree in Japanese and a first-class certificate. Because I have been in foreign companies and foreign trade for more than ten years, I now use more English, with an IELTS score of 7. I have studied for two years of international MBA (all in English) and studied in France for one year (mainly in English, supplemented by French), I do not recommend learning English and Japanese at the same time (preparing for the exam at the same time), it will be half the effort.

When I was in my junior year (more than ten years ago), I prepared for both English level 6 and Japanese level 1, and finally I didn't pass English level 6, but fortunately I passed Japanese level 1. At that time, it was the time to learn advanced Japanese grammar and memorize a large number of vocabulary, and at the same time, it was difficult to allocate time and energy to prepare for English level 6 (which also had to memorize a large number of vocabulary), and to take other courses and work life. My English listening, speaking, reading and writing level is not bad, I passed the fourth level in my freshman year, and what I lack is only some advanced vocabulary.

So now that I think about it, it would be more reasonable for me to prepare for English level 6 after I have passed the first level of Japanese. When learning two languages, it is best to learn them separately and build a system, and it is relatively easy to associate and integrate them after mastering them. Otherwise, it will increase the difficulty of memorization and make it easier to get confused.

The working mechanism of the brain is the connection between neuronal cells, and it is best to switch between languages and systems after mastering them. For example, I suggest that the best learning order is: learn Chinese well from an early age and lay a good foundation for Chinese proficiency.

Learn authentic English and American pronunciation in elementary school, learn good English in junior high school and high school, and strengthen in college. In high school, I learned the basics of authentic Japanese pronunciation, and I began to study Japanese in college. After mastering it, you can learn Korean, French and other minor languages.

I just finished Level 1 of the International Japanese Language Proficiency Test this year, and it was a big hit. Level 1 and Level 2 are too much different! Level 2 can be passed by memorizing vocabulary grammar and doing past papers.

And level 1 is not! The teacher said early on that the way we review the first level is not right, he suggested that we read more extracurricular books, he didn't buy vocabulary books at all when he was preparing for the first level, grammar only read a few times, most of the time spent on the blue Japanese magazine. At the beginning, he scored 560 points, and he was a little incredible.

In fact, the best way to learn a language well is to read the work, not to obsess over the grammar of the words. English and Japanese are common. I don't know how good your English is, if you think it's necessary, you can try to stick to reading an original English book first, and at the same time practice reading, word volume, grammar, and memory will be profound.

It's difficult, English or Japanese must have shortcomings, I belong to the kind of English that is very good, fluent in speaking, read ficher black, eugen fama's **, write English reports, I dream of speaking English, but because English is very close to the level of the mother tongue, it is extremely difficult to switch Japanese, Chinese and English word order is actually very similar, tense change is not difficult, the gap is reflected in the vocabulary, and Japanese tense, passive, envoy change, word order, Completely different from Chinese, my Japanese must be very fluent in beginners or Japanese majors who have not come to Japan for a long time, but it is completely insufficient at work, because there are many changes in the switching of word order, and it can only be said that I practiced slowly. If you have a language proficiency close to the level of your native language, the level will not degrade, and the specific theory is not clear, but if you have reached a certain level of English or Japanese, you can directly specialize in weak areas.

A word by word memorization, a grammar and grammar, see foreign partners take the initiative to make more friends, read more and write more to see the literature of the target country, it is a good thing to make mistakes, because you will not make a mistake next time, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, no matter how to learn a foreign language, you must be comprehensible, inclusive, erudite and diligent, the mother tongue is the foundation, don't try to be fast, so there is no effect.

When I first started learning English, I thought of Japanese, and when I learned Japanese, I thought of English. But you have to learn to completely abandon the Japanese thinking when you learn English, and you have to completely abandon the English thinking when you learn Japanese. You can't learn one language, think of another, and give yourself subconscious hints.

I am a Japanese language student, and as a rule of thumb, I don't want to take the Japanese and English exams together. You also know that Japanese is a sticky language, and Japanese people speak English very hard! When your Japanese rises to a certain level, especially if your English level is not stable enough, it is easy to be pulled down!

In other words, you must be very good at English before learning Japanese, otherwise the more you learn Japanese, the lower your English ability will be. Of course, there are many people who are good at Japanese and English. English is the most important thing, and you need to learn English thoroughly before you are eligible to learn Japanese.

About loanword words,Loanwords directly check the English and English dictionary is still quite cool,Because too many loanwords are derived from English,Remembering the meaning of Chinese and Japanese words is awkward,All foreign words in language learning are a truth,Put it in the etymology to understand it will get twice the result with half the effort,About notes,How to remember easily,How to remember how to remember,Through thinking,I think different language families as long as you get used to it will not create obstacles to learning,It's very interesting,Recently I'm learning business English,I like to write notes in English in Japanese., It's also fun to write a diary in Chinese, Japanese and English, and you don't have to buy a locked diary.

To give you a little life experience, if you learn an English loanword in Japanese, and you haven't learned this English word, then you must practice its English pronunciation. I learned the Japanese word stewardess at an early age, but I didn't know the English word at the time, and I memorized the Japanese pronunciation of the word without much thought. My colleague said how about the flight attendants of so-and-so airlines, and I casually asked:

You don't use the word stewardess anymore, do you? is stewardess an obsolete word?In this sentence, I just pronounced stewardess into a long note and an accent.

However, after a moment's hesitation, my colleague understood.

After a few years of hard work, I came to the conclusion that you should never learn Japanese and English at the same time, especially comparative studies! When you learn Japanese, you study Japanese well, and when you learn English, you learn English well, and if you slip through both, you can switch freely when you speak.

It's easy to get lost when you study together.

The pronunciation of Japanese is simpler than that of English.

It's not just English, it's simpler than many languages around the world. Because it has only five vowels, there are no difficult sounds such as big tongue and small tongue, and there is no even spelling, so even people who don't know Japanese can easily imitate the pronunciation.

Kanana in Japanese has three times as many letters as in English, and it can be difficult to memorize. However, because there is no phonics in Japanese, there is no need for phonetic transcription, and you can pronounce it by memorizing kana, which is actually a matter of once and for all. In the previous article, I talked about how to memorize fifty tones, you can refer to it!

On the other hand, there are a lot of kanji preserved in the Japanese language, which is good news for us Chinese. But there are two sides to everything, and because there are kanji in Japanese, when memorizing words, you need to memorize the kanji pronunciation together, and some kanji are different from Chinese writing or meaning, and some kanji have more than one pronunciation, so it also brings some trouble to memorizing words.

Therefore, I think that Japanese texts can be read faster than English because of kanji, but words are more difficult to memorize than in English.

The word order in English is the same as in Chinese, it is subject-verb-object, but there are things that are not found in Chinese, such as pronoun conjugation and verb conjugation.

The word order in Japanese is subject-object-predicate, and the verb is at the end of the sentence. For example, "I go to school" is said to be "I go to school" in Japanese. This is difficult for us to understand.

If the purpose of studying is to prepare for exams, then Japanese is easier to learn.

If you want to learn a foreign language in order to prepare for the college entrance examination or graduate school entrance examination, Japanese is easier to learn than English. Because the difficulty of the Japanese test for the college entrance examination or graduate school entrance examination is much smaller than that of English, and the number of Japanese learners is small, the competitive pressure is relatively small, and it is easier to get a high score.

In addition, the introduction to Japanese is relatively simple, as long as you learn 50 phonetic diagrams, the grammar learning is also a fixed usage, if you do more training and brush more questions, you can quickly improve your score in a short period of time, so as to stand out in the exam.

If the purpose of learning is the need for work, then English and Japanese are equally difficult to learn.

The use of Japanese or English in work practice is the result of long-term persistence and practice, and there is no skill at all. In this respect, it is equally difficult to learn English and Japanese.

If the purpose of learning is a hobby, then Japanese is easier to learn.

On the one hand, there are many Chinese characters in Japanese, and I don't know the meaning in time, and I can guess the same according to the Chinese characters, which is the advantage of Chinese learning Japanese, while English is composed of letters, just look at the text, and don't know what it means at all; On the other hand, English grammar is more complex than Japanese grammar; In addition, Japanese words can be read with 50 syllables, while English also requires memorizing different letter combinations, which is more troublesome.
