Japnese English

Most of the Japanese people are poor at English. Obviously it is harder for us to learn English than the European people or the foreign people whose native language is a little bit similar to English. Japanese is very different from English in the grammer and the pronunciation. However, there is the fact that most of the Japanese people can’t speak English even after we study it for 6 years, so I can’t help attributing this problem to the education.
The problem of the Japanese English education is that we study too much grammers. I know grammer is really important in a language, and no one can understand a language without studying grammers, but we don’t practice speaking and listening in class because of too much focus on grammer. Most of the English teachers want their students to go to good universities or high schools, so they don’t teach what is not needed in exams; we study English only for getting high scores on exams. English is a language, so the English education should focus on conversational use and give us the opportunity to practice speaking and listening in class.
