The Study Of Japanese Is Surrounded
by Difficulties.


BY Difficulties.
Japanese is not, an easy language
even for the native born subject of the
mikatlo. but It is very difficult Of ac-
quirement by the westerner. Give Hoi-
land In his book, "Oid and New Ja-
PAN" does not gfve foreigners any
encouragement that they will ever be
able. really to learn the language. 1t
takes a. Japanese child seven years. it
is said. to learn the essential parts Of
the Japanese alphabet. To use a Japa-f
nese dictionary, Mr.. Holland says, one
must be familiar with no fewer than
PA signs. which may be said to serve
the same purpose as initial letters ~
American dictionaries. Then after one
has tracked down In one of these PA
signs some part Of the character for

ploration be still has veritable north

is avoided whenever 1t is possible in
speaking japanese Ii it must be used
it is introduced casually, but generally
the abstract noun "selfishness" serves
in its stead. For example, Japanese
would not say 81 don't drink wine,"
but wine don't drink" or, If this is
not clear enough, "Selfishness wine
don't drink" Reference to ones own
possessions must be depreciatory. Thus
If man wishes to point out his own
residence he says, THAT miserable
house, which, of course could refer
to no other than his own. On the 9TH
er hand, THAT beautiful house" would
easily Identify the house as belonging to
some one else.
Moreover. any one who wishes to
learn Japanese must be prepared to
learn two languages. the written and
the spoken. The one differs so ma
terially from the other that If Japa-
nese is reading a book or newspaper
and wishes to do SO aloud it becomes
necessary for him to translate the
written words into the coIloquial. To
be able to read any Of the higher class
japanese newspapers, Mr.. Holland
says, 1t is necessary to master at least
from $500 to 5000 ideographs.
