Japanese language video
The lowdown on Japanese
In this video, Paul gives a great overview of Japanese including its history, where it is spoken (global distribution), the evolution of its writing system, an overview of how the language works, what other languages have influenced it, what regional varieties exist and much more.
Paul includes example samples of the Japanese language to illustrate the main points of how the language works - super helpful for folks just getting started and interesting in general for language geeks like me.
