I'm native Japanese speaker remembering the former Japanaese-Online Forum several years ago where several Japanese Volunteers kept making replies to the Japanese learner.

Because of some reason I left the forum and came back here. The forum seems to be changed totally and I also learned many things more.

One thing I recognized is that Japanese language brings "KI" or mind of respect. I mean Japanese Language is not only used to just tell a information but also used to keep or change the mutual human relationship.

It is the reason why Japanese to English translation is much harder than English to Japanese translation. And also it is the reason why Japanese language has high redundancy.

To make learning Japanese language easier, I think you should study about "KI" first.

Thank you.
