What made you learn Japanese?

I'm still in the process of learning it. I'm attepting to teach myself. I love how the language sounds. I want to learn every language before I die. And Japanese is at the top of my list. I've always wanted to visit Japan. One day, hopefully.

remember this: "There is no shortcut in learning a language." if you want to learn it well, at least. If you rush, you might just end up wasting your time. I'm learning too, and taking it step by step is much easier and effective than trying to rush through it. trust me :)

I want to learn it cuz I just like the language..i also watch animes...i would rather not read the subs all the time;)

hmmmm.....study the basucs and think in Nihongo all the time. watch lotsa Jdrama, animes and lsten to Jmusic everyday! hahahaha.... but for me the most effective way is to speak it all the time and go get yourself a native speaker so you don't have to look stupid talking to yourself. hahaha. but honestly, there is no easy way, you have to learn the hard way. like, memorizing all the japanese words and constructing a sane sentence like your life's depending on it.

im learning it on my own.. i listen to japanese music all the time, i write kana when im bored in class, i talk to myself in japanese like an idiot but it helps.. i translate what my friends were saying.. i watch anime and jdrama..

I'm still studying Japanese, but on my own.. I have never went to a Japanese school or had a Japanese tutor, not even for English.. My native language is Spanish and the pronunciation of Japanese seems a lot more easy than English.. I think that I fall in love of Japanese was when I saw the kanji Gold. From that point until now, I'm studying on my own and It's slow, but I have no rush..

i learned japanese when i was there. it is so easy to learn if you speak the language all the time and you are able to communicate in japanese all the time it makes you practice a lot

Because it's my major! I have no choice, at the very beginning i hate that because the past. My grandpa's brother was killed in Shanghai by Japanese army in the anti-japanese war, he was a sniper at that time, in order to save a old lady he ran out of the shied and draw JPs' attention and after using up all his bullets, he was killed. All that i'm doing is to do my best so that one day when they came mad again i'll be able to defend my homeland like my grandpa's brother did. Have a nice day!

I have fallen in love with a Japanese guy.

I studied Japanese when I was in College. I joined Nihongo class, it's sort of club wherein they teach you Japanese and also did some activities. I learned up to basic conversational grammar. I also watched anime, J-dorama and listen to J-music to help me understand more of their language. I also wish to be fluent in Nihongo someday. :D

It is good to learn aother language besides your native language. I am thinking of visiting Japan some good day, God spare my life.

My friend give me my first japanese book and so I start learning. Another factor that influenced me was the influence of their culture thru our asian history plus the fact that anime is popular in the philippines.

I just learn my somehow but little japanese through watching anime, watching jdramas and jmovies. reading Nihongo tutorials. It's basically self studying and by asking others how to speak like this and like that. It's really good for you that you've stayed in japan because speaking with native language speakers really is interesting. Get me to japan too! Onegaishimasu! T_T hehehe *just kidding* ja!

I learned basic nihonggo language in JSAT (Japan School of Advance Technology)located in the philippines. They offer different short courses and it includes Nihongo. You could choose on class type or tutorial. I prefer tutorial because of my schedule. I studied nihongo at the same time work. Learning nihongo is so fun. I love to watch anime and manga serye. :)
