Why I chose to study Japanese.

I chose to study Japanese because I have always had an interest in Japanese Culture. I like to eat Japanese food, I like Japanese fashion, and I like to watch Japanese Anime and read Manga. I have always wanted to travel to Japan and hope to do so in the near future. When I travel I like to not be completely helpless in a foreign country. Which is a big motivator for me to study Japanese because there are so many things I enjoy from the country and would want to do when I go there.
I haven't had any difficulties yet because I am relearning material I had already learned in Elementary Japanese but have forgotten because I stopped studying it to focus on another language. I am excited about really cementing my basics and having a good base to move off of into the higher levels of Japanese. I am really looking forward to learning a lot about the language and the culture!
