Question by : Does Chinese and Japanese language interfere with Asian students’ ability to excel in education?
For example, a Japanese student who wants to go to Engineering would have to memorize hundreds of Chinese letters to first start the Engineering course (they need to take a class for learning the Kanzis!), whereas English you learn the phonetic sound and spelling while you are in an Engineering class.
Japanese students will struggle doing studies in it due to its language but English will not interfere at all.
Do you agree?
PS. I did not put this question in Language section because I want the education perspective.
