Session
Japanese is reportedly one of the most difficult languages for English speakers to learn.
(FSI language difficulty: https://www.fsi-language-courses.org/blog/fsi-language-difficulty/)
There are many reasons for this, including the fact that there are three types of characters: hiragana, katakana, and kanji, and that words are not separated by spaces.
In this talk, I will first introduce what makes Japanese different from many European languages.
Then I will show how Python and natural language processing libraries can be used to support Japanese language learning.
