Word Order
 The Japanese language tends to follow a Subject, Object, Verb order.
日本語は主語、目的、動詞の順序に従う傾向があります。
Example:       山田さんはテレビを見ます。

                  Subject        Object       Verb

  The English language tends to follow a Subject, Verb, Object order.
英語は、件名、動詞、オブジェクトの順序に従う傾向があ
            ります。
Example:                Bobby played his violin.

                      Subject    Verb       Object
The biggest difference between the Japanese
   language and the English language is the
 cultural aspects. Japanese try to be polite and
unassertive as possible in their communication.
English speakers tend to speak
 the same to everyone; that is,
 there isn’t a level of formality
     for different people in
        communication.
