Word order in Japanese sentences
My phrasebook says that "sukoshi hanasemas" is "I speak a little" in Japanese. However, if you want to specify which language you speak a little of, where in the sentence do you include the language word?

For example, if I want to say "I speak a little Japanese" is it "sukoshi nihongo hanasemas" ?

Word order in Japanese sentences
My phrasebook says that "sukoshi hanasemas" is "I speak a little" in Japanese. However, if you want to specify which language you speak a little of, where in the sentence do you include the language word?

For example, if I want to say "I speak a little Japanese" is it "sukoshi nihongo hanasemas" ?

Answer

" nihongo ga hanasemasu"
"nihongo ga  hanasemasu"

Both sentences are correct.
A position of adverb in Japanese is rather flexble. But you cannot put it at the end.

Answer

日本語が少し話せます。
nihongo ga sukoshi hanasemasu.

Hope this helps.
