We thought in listening to this, you may have thought English was a difficult language. You're wrong. Unless you're Japanese in which case it's easy. It's easier. Although the Japanese have a difficult time learning the kanji as well, don't they? Yes. To be able to read anything remotely proficiently, you need to know several hundred of them. And how they interact with each other. Because they can have different meanings and different pronunciations. Depends on how they are used together.
English teacher, travel writer, stand-up comic, learner of Japanese, DJ, native English speaker, Machester City fan and former flatmate of Luke from Luke's English Podcast - Peter Sidell is a guy who keeps himself busy! I lived with Peter in Tsujidou, Japan for nearly a year. I left at the end of 2003 and he stayed there and I hadn't seen him for about 11 years until he recently visited Paris and we got the chance to catch up with each other again. Of course I jumped at the chance to interview Peter for LEP, and you can now listen to our conversation here, now. Click here for more information
