Yes, quite different. Like two dialects of the same language. An interesting observation: Worldwide only so called 'standard Japanese' is taught in schools. That basically is male Japanese. So here you have well studied women, scholars or business, who come to Japan with their fluent Japanese - and almost blow the Japanese men out of the room with their aggressive malish language style. Female Japanese is not taught anywhere. A tip: Study tea ceremony or flower arrangements in Japan! Now in most cases it doesn't matter much, because the Japanese we have learned in the schools may just help us to understand some (not NHK, they don't announce in spoken Japanese!!) and express our basic needs, we are not fluent anyway. But a woman speaking perfect male Japanese may have a problem. And so may the men have, who speak perfect female Japanese :)
