Do you have trouble with English articles?
Learning a language is difficult no matter what but if your native language is linguistically very different from the language you are trying to learn it gets very tough. For a lot of Japanese learners, for example, English is very difficult to master because the two languages are very different, while Japanese find it easier to learn Korean because these two are quite similar.
Among many difficulties, one of the most difficult aspects of English for Japanese learners is its article system. We can get the fundamentals right –“a” for a countable noun starting with a consonant, “an” is for a countable noun starting with a vowel, and “the” is for something we know that has already been referred to. Yeah, the basic rules are there but it is very difficult to learn in a systematic way.
Few people learn about the article system thoroughly in school. There are many other things we need to learn, such as vocabulary, pronunciation, how to speak, how to read, how to write, etc. The list goes on forever! So the article system is kind of left out without being taught even though it is one of the most difficult things to learn for many students.
We want to help learners like you! We have made a course in which you can steadily learn about the rules of the English article system. Here is a summary video.
