5 Major Advantages of Studying Japanese in Japan

1. Self-learning Vs. Actual Instructor

Study Japanese (Self-learning Vs. Actual Instructor) | FAIR Study in JapanIf you learn the Japanese language on your own or by self-study, your full focus is within you and there will be no distractions. However, studying Japanese alone is not that beneficial. You may feel bored at times and eventually lose the appetite of studying the Japanese language even further.

It will also be more convenient to ask any questions that come out to your mind and have the answers in real-time. You will easily learn the proper pronunciation of Japanese words and see the writing techniques of the Japanese alphabet.

On the other hand, having an actual instructor means you can have classmates to make friends with. You can be able to collaborate with them to achieve the same goal which is to successfully learn the Japanese language. And with that, participating in in-class activities could be more fun and exciting.

2. Imagination Vs. Reality

This will also help you to use words that are intended for Japanese culture and customs only. Also, you will day by day learn more about Japan, its people, and its interesting history as you engage in learning Japanese in Japan.

3. Confusion Vs. Ability to Distinguish

Even those who study these languages are sometimes having a hard time distinguishing their differences. Similarly, to the untrained and insensitive ear, many Asian languages may sound alike. All of these happens because of less exposure.

4. Stay Where You Are Vs. Decide To Study Abroad

Good thing is that Japanese schools have a high quality of education at all levels so no wonder why a lot of foreigners chose to study in Japan. Of course, studying abroad can be more beneficial if you can speak its language very well so you need to be comfortable speaking the three major Japanese alphabets: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.

And you will be able to learn and speak faster the Japanese language if you master it inside Japan.

5. Job Hunt Vs. Job Pick

And of course, to be able to communicate with a different language aside from your own language can be your asset and a plus on your job application.
