Considered to be probably the most popular East Asian language in the world,

Japanese has a total of 128 million speakers and this number continues to grow specifically due to the popularity of this language which can be directly attributed to their entertainment industry as well vibrancy of their culture. Furthermore, the language has an immense amount of beautiful history as well as interesting mythology which often attracts many non-speakers.

There are multiple different languages in the world, and most of these languages are mastered for the sake of either expanding your career or job opportunities in the future or for pursuing higher education in the future.

Either way, it is very important to understand whether the language that you are planning to master is even utilised on a daily basis in the place where you wish to achieve your higher education or expand your career or job opportunities. In this blog, we will discuss whether education in the country of Japan is primarily imparted in the language of English or in the language of Japanese.

When it comes to education in Japan, most of it is in Japanese. There is no doubt about this.

This is simply because most of the population of Japan primarily speaks Japanese and not English. In fact, it will be very hard for you to come across people who can actually speak good English in Japan as the population in Japan truly respect their language. They not only respect their language, but they also promote it as much as they can.

The Japanese have always been extremely proud of their history, culture and language.

Therefore, when it comes to imparting education in their country, they have actively opted for Japanese as the primary mode of communication for this purpose. Therefore, if you are planning to study in Japan, I strongly suggest learning Japanese.

Furthermore, although Japanese has a notorious reputation for being one of the toughest languages, it might be surprising to know that it is not as tough to master. It simply requires much more effort and time when compared to other languages like French or German.

In Japan, Japanese is not only used as a means for imparting knowledge but it is also commonly used for general speaking. The reality is that most of the Japanese population does not speak English and the one that does not speak good English. This means that in order to simply survive in Japan, you are going to have to learn Japanese. There is also one of the primary reasons why education in Japan is also imparted in Japanese and not in English.
