What are common challenges faced by Japanese language learners

Common challenges faced by Japanese language learners include mastering kanji characters, difficulties with pronunciation, language anxiety especially in speaking, and the complexity of grammar structures. Learners often struggle with remembering the meanings, stroke order, and pronunciations of kanji characters. Pronunciation challenges arise due to differences in phonetic structures from their native languages. Additionally, language anxiety can hinder learners’ speaking abilities. Grammar aspects such as compound verbs (Fukugoudoushi) and the logical structure of sentences also pose challenges. Furthermore, the acquisition and processing of Japanese loanwords present difficulties for learners, influenced by factors like familiarity and phonological similarity to their native or second languages. ^{6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15}
