Why Japan???
Japan is a very complicated Country full of mystisicim and with a very ancient history... One of the oldest countries thath still keeps their own native culture and traditions.
But even Japan has been afected by the influence of the Western countries, mostly the United States.
Obviously the official language of Japan is the Japanesse, However as a consequence of globalization, mixture of culures and overall the progress of communication tecnologies such as computers, cellphones and specially the Internet, English became a necessity for their way of life, adding that, to the fact that USA is one of the most powerfull economies in the world.
Japan has adopted English as a secong language, even if it's not official (very similar to what's happening in Mexico, that is the very same reasson for us to study English, isn't it???).
But Japanese not only speak English, they've adopted a lot of words in English and introduce them into their every day vocabulary since they can vistually reproduce any word or sentence in English to their own alphabet. As matter of fact, Japanese has three alphabets:
- Hiragana, wich is entierly Japanesse an
d for words born in Japan. - the Kanji alphabet, that was an adaptation from the chinese alphabet.
- Katakana, that is exclusive for foreigns words, mostly in English.
