Why Should I Learn Japanese?

If you plan to travel to Japan, understanding the local language can be a big help. Whether you want to ask for directions around Tokyo, strike up a conversation with a local, or read the sushi menu, you’re going to want to know a bit of Japanese. Even if you aren’t fluent before your travels, putting the effort in to greet others or thank them in Japanese can go a long way.

You don’t have to have a trip to Japan booked to learn this language, though. Not only can learning this language help you better understand the culture, but it can also benefit your cognitive skills and abilities. After all, many studies suggest that learning a second language can improve your memory and enhance your concentration. Some have even found that it can boost your creativity! To top it all off, learning a new language can be a fun, challenging, and rewarding experience. With so many benefits, it’s no wonder so many students are signing up for Japanese language classes.
