@japaneselanguage I like how Japanese is simply structured. Especially as a programmer, I have been able to pick up Japanese due to how sentences are structured.

(I don’t have a Japanese keyboard.)

watashi wa (
niji ni (
hirugohan o (

Everything can be broken into blocks which is really nice. This is what programming languages do, so this feels very natural to me.

My native language is English, but I am thinking of moving to Japan.

    Oh yes, I completely agree with you! I was saying this exact thing to my sensei some time ago and she couldn’t understand what I mean, despite knowing a few foreign languages herself, Japanese is her native language so she couldn’t judge it from the perspective of someone learning it as a foreign language. But I also like how everything is well-structured and it’s also not full of exceptions. My husband only started learning a few months ago but he also agrees!
