Japanese and Culture
If you are looking at this page this very moment, perhaps you will want to know more Japan.
Welcome!
"You may enjoy it more if you know Japanese, but how?" It looks like the task which surely is unmanageable, and it has the description and a very complicated sentence structure to which it seems that it makes it get confused. However, please be not afraid.If you want to really learn Japanese, we can lead you in the right direction. If you are not sure that it is a good idea yet, some are following here.
７ great reasons to study Japanese!
Reason .1
Spoken more than 130 million people, Japanese is the top 10 languages on Earth.
And, The Japanese economy has the second scale in the world, so their language is very relevant.
Reason .2
There is attractive culture in Japan, and the most are reflected in its language.. In the world of console video games/anime, it rises to 1st place position. Most
console games (Playstation, Wii, Nintendo DS) are released nearly a
year earlier than they are in the USA.
Reason .3
Good (Japanese) voice acting without having to read your Anime! Japanese voice actors tend to put more soul and realism
into their Anime roles than their American counterparts.
There are a lot of anime series and video games out there in Japanese
only. Some good titles too! Wouldn't it be nice to have the best of both
worlds?
Reason .4
Japan
has a lot great music. It's very enjoyable to listen to it, but to hear
it and actually know what's being said is an even better experience.
Reason .5
Many of your family, friends, classmates and/or co-workers believe
Japanese is hard. Show them what you can do! They'll think you have
special talent. Actually, anyone can learn it if they want to, but they have a way of
being really impressed about somebody approaching the Japanese language.
Reason .6
"Speaks Japanese" looks great on a resume, no matter what your line of
work. Knowing any second language helps, but Japanese will have a
greater effect on an employer, since not many Americans know it.
Reason .7
Japan controls both the video game and Anime industries.
This allows you to learn a language while enjoying an Anime or playing
a video game! What other language gives you such opportunities?
Ok, there was a bit of a trend in most of those reasons, but learning
Japanese is a great idea even if you're not a hardcore anime fan.
