136. 日本語は世界一難しい言語?どうして3つも文字が存在するのか調べました!Is Japanese the Most Difficult Language in the World? Why Are There Three Different Types of Characters?

from Nihongo Toranomaki -Learn Japanese from Real conversation!! · host Makiko

日本語(にほんご)学習者(がくしゅうしゃ)のみなさんは十分(じゅうぶん)にご存(ぞん)じだと思(おも)いますが、日本語(にほんご)って本当(ほんとう)に難(むずか)しいですよね。特(とく)に、漢字(かんじ)はネイティブの私(わたし)たちでも読(よ)めないものが多(おお)いです。つまり、漢字(かんじ)を完全(かんぜん)にマスターすることは日本人(にほんじん)でも不可能(ふかのう)。日本語(にほんご)が世界一(せかいいち)難(むずか)しい言語(げんご)だと言(い)われている理由(りゆう)もわかります。今回(こんかい)は、どうして日本語(にほんご)には3つも文字(もじ)が存在(そんざい)するのか。漢字(かんじ)はどうやって伝(つた)わったのか。ひらがな、カタカナはなぜ作(つく)られたのか、について話(はな)しました。 I believe all learners of Japanese know well that Japanese is truly a difficult language. Especially kanji; even we natives often find many characters unreadable. In other words, mastering kanji completely is impossible even for Japanese people. It’s understandable why Japanese is said to be the most difficult language in the world. In this episode, we discussed why there are three types of characters in Japanese. How did kanji come to Japan? And why were hiragana and katakana created? The script is available here: https://www.makiko-japanese.com/ I will update this episode on Youtube as soon as possible!!
