What languages do Japanese people usually speak in addition to Japanese?

The majority of Japanese people are monolingual, meaning they only speak Japanese. However, there are some Japanese people who learn foreign languages, such as English, Chinese, or Korean.

English is the most popular foreign language learned in Japan, and it is taught in schools from elementary through high school. However, the level of English proficiency in Japan is still relatively low compared to other countries.

Chinese is the second most popular foreign language learned in Japan, and it is also taught in schools. However, the number of Japanese people who can speak Chinese is still relatively small compared to the number of Chinese people who can speak Japanese.

Korean is the third most popular foreign language learned in Japan, and it is also taught in some schools. However, the number of Japanese people who can speak Korean is still relatively small compared to the number of Korean people who can speak Japanese.

In addition to these three languages, some Japanese people also learn other languages, such as French, German, or Spanish. However, the number of Japanese people who can speak these languages is relatively small.
