Japanese Facts

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

The Japanese have 3 'writing systems': Hiragana, a phonetic system for words of Japanese origin; Katakana, another phonetic system for words of foreign origin (or to stress Japanese words); and Kanji, Chinese characters. All three writing systems are used simultaneously

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

Wigan

A town in Greater Manchester, in northwest England, Wigan has a population of around 85,000. It was formerly an industrial hub for textile manufacture, but the last mill closed in 1980. The town remains a centre of popular music for youths, with many alternative pubs and clubs to be found in the town centre, all eager to promote and host local musicians and bands. Currently in the middle of a large "regeneration" project, Wigan is undergoing many changes to give it increased commercialism and tourism.
