Japanese is harder/easier than other languages in what ways? - Lemmy.world

I want something to say when my other language-learning friends talk about how hard/easy XYZ language is. For example, for easy parts: - No genders - Easy vowels/consonants For difficulties: - Kanji - Formality Please help? Thanks!

Letters are pronounced always the same way regardless of the word. At least this is the picture I have gotten. Unlike in English, for example: car (/ka:r/), have (/hæv/) This was very nice thing, coming from a language where letters are always pronounced same way (Finnish) You can correct me if I’m wrong :)
