Correct Japanese Language?
Correct Japanese Language?
Very often, some children or young people begin to use wrong expressions in Japanese, and adults, especially seniors, will be concerned that “Our language is going to be broken.” They say. Within a decade, many people will be using those words and even newspapers and television newscasters will begin to use them. Eventually, those expressions will be considered part of the Japanese language. In a similar way a human language varies between ages, between areas, and between occupations. Some Asian messaged me saying, “Fujikun, your Japanese recordings sound different from the standard Japanese language that I read in the textbooks and listen to on the audio CDs.” I would like to say to him, “Thanks for teaching me Japanese language. I was born and raised in Japan. Am not I native Japanese speaker? If not, what am I?”
