There are many reason that one might want to learn Japanese. Some people are interested in Japanese because of the cultural phenomenon that many products from Japan have become... from video games to anime.
However, there are other reasons, too, for wanting to learn Japanese. Some people are interested in Japanese because Japan is the second largest economy and it would help them greatly in their business efforts. Some people are impressed by Japan's deep cultural traditions.
For whatever your reason may be for learning a language like Japanese, you must remember a few things that learning a foreign language successfully means.
Japanese is more difficult to learn than a European language because Japanese uses kanji which are characters far different from the letters that make up our alphabet.
A language like Spanish, for example, shares many root words with English simply because the two languages have been in greater contact for longer and because English has borrowed a great many amount of words from Latin which is the basis for the Spanish language.
This means that learning Japanese is a little bit more tricky but I am not saying that it is impossible.
However, my best advice for you is to keep your reasons for learning Japanese strong if you want to get far in it.
If you really want to get to that high level in Japanese, you have to make sure that these reasons are foremost in your heart.
So, whether you want to become better at business and open up new opportunities or if you want to better understand that next anime episode you watch, make sure you keep that desire strong in your mind and heart.
This will ultimately keep you going on the long journey that studying Japanese entails. So, make sure that you are able to stay strong when studying and keep going no matter what. Just remember your reason for studying Japanese every time that you feel you are beginning to falter in your studies. - 30216
