Japanese schoolchildren begin to learn English in seventh grade. Almost every Japanese person can read the English alphabet because many brand names and song titles in Japan contain English or English lettering. Many Japanese also have a limited grasp of English from their school years, though that depends on how good of a student they were and whether or not their occupation requires them to understand English.
