What is "Easy Japanese (Japanese)"?


"Easy Japanese (Nihongo)" is Japanese (Nihongo) that is easy to read even for those who do not yet have Japanese (Nihongo).
Yokohama City (Yokohamas) is English (Eigo), Chinese (Chugokugo) (Simplified (Kantaiji)), Hangul and other words (languages) to foreigners (gaikokujin). I'm letting you know.
But there are many people who don't understand these words. That's why I'm letting them know in "Easy Japanese" for those people.

The professional soccer team "Yokohama FC" has created a video!

In the video, Yokohama FC players (Senshu) and others talk about "easy Japanese (Nihongo)".
