Why I Want to Study Japanese

      I want to study Japanese because I wish to acquire the language skill that could help me learn and understand  the Japanese culture better. I have been to Japan three times in my life, once with my mother when I was 8, once with my school when I was 12, and once this summer with my best friend. Every time I went, I saw and learned something new about Japan, and I became more and more fascinated by the the country and its culture. Learning Japanese will enable me to appreciate the Japanese literature, art, history, popular culture, etc. and to get the most out of my future travels and study abroad experience in Japan. I am highly interested in spending some time in Japan during my college career.
      As for now, I think I can still improve to read the hiragana/katakana quicker.

  1. Japan is truly a magical place. Hopefully this course will be of great use to you. I mean we can already do shopping in Japanese now. SO that pretty much takes are of 90% of what is necessary.
    Jokes aside. Best of luck for your future travels!
