RE: Question about foreign languages |

  Gamma Tr The Digital Poet The reason Digital Poet says Japanese works in tech fields is because most technically-gifted people have trouble learning languages, and language people aren't as good at tech. Well that last part is probably true, I am certainly not a gifted linguist, infact I struggle with english most of the time. I do know a limited amount of French and German and also some Portuguese, personally I found German to be easier as a native English speaker as there are less major pronouciation differences. Both French and Portguese have sounds that do not exist in English, German doesn't seem to have this problem to such a great extent. Actually, when I mentioned Japanese a pro for business, the logic is that the other languages mentioned are European and (much to the disgust of the French), English is largely the de-facto language used for business purposes across europe. Not so in Japan as I understand it. However, you state you are a fluent speaker of Japanese and obviously know the situation far better than I. It is very possible that my information is out of date, but several years ago, I worked at a company that was desperately looking for a fluent Japanese speaker and strugged to find someone qualified. --- When my brain takes a dump on the internet, this is what it looks like: http://www.common-nonsense.net Replies:
