In this paper, statistical analysis of the Japanese used by 5 Chinese-Korean colonial Japanese learners and 20 Korean colonial Japanese learners, based on sentence difficulty and the Japanese Language Proficiency Test(JLPT), is used to view the dynamic changes in Japanese according to different learning environments. The external factors of change in language skills and vocabulary proficiency in second language retention are revealed in the following results. (a)Regarding the degree of sentence difficulty, it is much higher in Chinese-Korean than Korean elders in terms of area. In terms of the Japanese learning environment, the sentence difficulty is in the order of "M layer (secondary education) > W layer (work experience) > P layer (primary education)". (b)As for the ability to retain Chinese characters, it is greater for Chinese-Koreans than for Korean elders. In terms of the Japanese learning environment, the rate appears to be in the order of "W layer (work experience) ≧ M layer (secondary education) > P layer (primary education)". (c)The results of multi-variate analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the area and Japanese learning environment suggest that all factors show significance at a 95% significance level, except for “area-difficulty of sentences”. In other words, it can be said that the second language learning environment, the ability to compose a sentence and the ability to retain vocabulary have a strong interrelationship in light of the significance of th "area─Chinese character skills", "Japanese learning environment─Chinese character skills" and "Japanese learning environment─difficulty of the sentence". (d)In the case of Korean Japanese learners, it can be predicted/inferred that the elements of the "W layer (natural acquisition by work experience) + M layer (learning acquisition by secondary education)" have proportional relationship with the Chinese character skills and the ability to compose a sentence after language contact.
