Japanese might seem hard at first because all the phrases that you'd like to learn in beginning are weird and completely different from most of Western languages. One of the things that looks pretty complicated for something so basic in English language is way to address people.
In English, we simply use
I (or
me) and
you in everyday conversations, and there's no my philosophy there.
I refers to the speaker, and
you refers to a person speak is talking to.
In Japanese, however, things can get pretty nasty. And the more you want to lean about it, the more you find out how complicated it can be. That's why we'll take a look at all the different ways to address yourself, the person you're talking to and someone else. Of course, I'll try to explain when and how to use each of these.
