Japanese Facts

Subject, object and other grammatical relations are usually marked by 'particles', which are short words (usually only one or two syllables) attached to the words that they modify

Nouns in Japanese have no grammatical gender or number. For example, the noun 'hon' means book; but could refer to one book or many books

Unlike most western languages, Japanese has a grammatical system to express formality and politeness - the differences between honorific and humble speech is particularly pronounced

Newcastle

The 20th most populated city in England, Newcastle resides in northeast England and has a population of around 275,000. Historically famous for its printing presses and glass production, Newcastle's development into a major city was owed much to its export of coal. These days its main industries are office and retail development, which gives local developers a chance to flex their architectural muscle. Newcastle is a popular destination for restaurants, bars and clubs, living up to its reputation as a fun-loving city - The Rough Guide to Britain had Newcastle upon Tyne's nightlife as the UK's number 1 tourist attraction.
