Hello...oups gomen nasai, Konnichi ha,
At first, i would say the more difficult thing in Japanese language is hidden ideas... I explain : I'm french and usually in France, many persons say what they think but japanese ones aren't... I found that with my wife who is japanese... We talk in french together and at the beginning of our relationship, she could not say anything of what she thought... Difficult to me to understand what she meant... So she learnt to express he ides, her feelings to me, to our children, to repaet his ideas to everyone especially if other listener is not sure to have understood... The relationship is clearer, simpler now.. She feels happier with that...
