It’s fascinating to study new languages. I’ve studied French, German, Spanish, and Italian, but none have been as exciting as Japanese. Learning Japanese means learning a new alphabet, and the feeling of being five again and figuring out what shapes convey which sounds is amazing (remember learning that “S” went like “ssss”?). I’ve studied the language in a class, which was helpful for pronunciation and having a fantastic teacher I could pester with questions. But studying on my own is also great–the sense of accomplishment when I can say and write “thank you” can’t be beat.
