Japan is a diverse and prosperous country. Learning Japanese can open the door to new opportunities for yourself or your company. Being able to truly communicate with potential customers or colleagues can open many doors. Not only will learning Japanese help you with other languages, but it can also help you improve your native language. Research has shown that being multilingual enables students to use their native language more effectively. Learning a new language might help you understand and appreciate your language. By learning about the culture of Japan, you’ll also learn more about yourself and your own culture. Learning a new language can let you step outside your familiar scope and inspect your traditions and habits from an “outsiders” perspective.
