Heh, so the idea has been floating around in my head for a while now and more recently I've been looking into persuing it. What's that idea? To learn Japanese. Practical? Not necissarily aside from perhaps being able to sit down to an anime with the audio set to Japanese and being able to understand it. It may be a shallow reason but if it's enough to get me trying to learn a second language it works.
If I get to the point of travelling, Japan is a place I'd like to visit and be able to interact with the people, knowing the language is key to that. Currently I'll learn through self teaching through books, CD's, and online. Perhaps I'll get a course in it once I have learned some for myself.
I'm mostly interested in learning to speak and understand the language but I'm going to work on being able to read Japanese as well....as for writing I'll likely not attempt that but depending how much I progress with this and how strong my interest stays I may attempt to reach that point as well. I supposed reading and writing go hand-in-hand, that'll be complicated, it's a beautiful form of writing but looks quiet difficult.
