what are the different aproaches to learn the english language between the german speaking students & japanise

Answer 1

Actually, learning English for German people is a lot easier than for Japanese to learn it because of the different alphabets. The German language is based on the Roman alphabet the same as English. Since English, like many Roman alphabet based languages, contains huge numbers of words which are Latin, Greek, French and Germanic based, these words are easily recognized by speakers of these languages when looked at in a written context. They may be spelled and pronounced slightly different, but they are nonetheless recognizable. This makes pronunciation and vocabulary acquisition potentially much faster and much easier. For the Japanese speakers learning English, having a different alphabetic system makes it virtually impossible to have these helping cues and tools. So in a nutshell, people using a Roman based alphabet have a 60% linguistic advantage while all others using non Roman alphabets, have a 100% dis-advantage and have to learn everything from the ground up, which includes learning a new alphabet with sounds and writing English. So, if two students, one German and one Japanese, started learning English at the same time, the German student would make faster progress because the Japanese student would have to first learn the mechanics of the alphabet and writing, and since the Japanese alphabet is symbol based, their brain needs to re-program itself to learn to think and learn to write in a different way.
