(2) The advanced learners evaluate the difficulty level of honorific, humble languageⅠ・Ⅱ, which are the type of honorific, to be low than low level learners, in terms of polite language, it was almost similar. (3) In terms of difficulty level of learners(advanced/low level) depending on the type of honorific(verb), the modified type is higher than general, specific type in the honorific.
