Why I'm taking Japanese

こんにちは, everybody!

Let's jump right into it. You must be wondering, 'Hey, Chet, why are you studying にほんご?' Well, you probably aren't actually wondering that, but just in case you are, here's the story. Ever since I was a little kid, I've loved anime and manga, and spent a lot of my time watching or reading it. I wondered what it would be like to enjoy in its original format, in Japanese, rather than to be forced to behold it through the eyes of the translator. To this end, I wanted to study the language in college. However, my parents suggested that I instead learn Spanish, since, living in California, it is becoming as useful or more useful than English in everyday life. I had planned to comply with my parents' wishes until, looking at the reviews for the course, I discovered that many people disliked Spanish class, and, upon further researching, I found that Japanese had incredible reviews. すみません, mom and dad, but it looks like I'm following my dream after all!

Well, until next time.
サようなら
