In Japan, we have only two languages: Japanese and a dialect of English called Japanese English. JE is Japan's second language. I call it Zen English because you can't translate it directly. A lot of the meaning is left up to the listener. Entire sentences are often expressed in just two words. For example, "Troussier koochi" means "Philippe Troussier is the coach of the Japan national team." Once you learn how to fill in the verbs, predict prepositions and substitute letters," you'll find that JE is actually a very easy language to learn.
