I think the Japanese found English a difficult language to master.

According to my high-school English teacher who served as an interpreter at US Army in the postwar, pronunciation was hard to catch, even for him, like "OK Mr. Sasaki you garra job."

Even a lot of English speakers find English a difficult language, especially the written form.

This is what the world understood about the incident in Nanking at the time.
Much different from the modern education in the continent(s).

"Horrors beyond human imagination took place in Nanking between Dec. 10 and 18, 1937. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, despite expert advices, had left some of his best troops to make a last stand inside the city. When the walls were breached, Chinese soldiers stripped to their underclothes and ran around looking for civilian clothes to disguise themselves. Japanese shot down everyone seen running or caught in a dark alley. Soldiers and civilians were tied in groups of 50 and executed in cold blood!"

「1937年12月10日至18日期间，南京发生了超出人类想象的恐怖事件。蒋介石不顾专家的建议，留下了一些最精锐的部队在城内进行最后的抵抗。 当城墙被攻破时，中国士兵脱光了内衣，四处寻找便服来伪装自己。 日本人射杀了所有在黑暗小巷里奔跑或被困的人。 士兵和平民50人一组，被残酷处决！」
