   • Consistent pronunciation. Japanese only has five vowels, each syllable is pronounced with the same rhythm without any stress and the pronunciation of Japanese words is generally predictable.
   • No tones. “Tones” in reference to languages refers to a particular way of pronouncing a syllable or word. For example, in Mandarin Chinese 妈 (mā) — mother and 马 (mǎ) — horse sound like exactly the same word to someone who doesn’t speak a tonal language.
   • (Similar) parts of speech. Japanese parts of speech are pretty similar to their English counterparts: Noun: 花 (はな) — flower. Adjective: 美しい (うつくしい) — beautiful.
   • Gender neutrality. Aside from a few nouns, Japanese doesn’t really change word form based on gender. Pronouns are only gender-specific in two cases: third person (she, he and they) and first person (I).

   • The Sound. First cab off the rank, the lack of phonemes. Japanese only has 46 distinct sounds for you to master. On top of this, Japanese is not a tonal language like Mandarin, Thai or Vietnamese.
   • Japanglish. Japanese has always had a unique way of dealing with loan words from other cultures. They even went so far as to create an entirely new writing system to deal with them called katakana.
   • No gender difference and no plural ‘s’ Learners of Romance or Germanic languages may rejoice to hear that upon starting their Japanese language journey, they will never again have to remember if a chair is feminine, masculine, or neutral.
   • Kanji. With 2041 kanji considered “Jyoyou” or what a student completing Year 12 is expected to learn, it may sound counterintuitive to say that kanji is one of the factors making Japanese easier to learn.
