Learn Japanese　日本語勉強コミュのWhy do you learn Japanese?

Hello all(hajimemashite),
I am just curious why you started learning Japanese.Do you have any particular reason for that?I will be teaching Japanese to high school students from this autumn and I'm a bit nervous because it is my first experience to teach and I just want to know why Japanese language is becoming kind of popular.I thought it would be really interesting to hear about your thoughts..
Thanks

For me, I began to be interested in East Asian culture after watching some Korean movies and dramas. I really got hooked and I began to pick up some Korean language from watching movies alone. After a few months I could read and write in Korean and speak a few sentences and words. Then I began watching Japanese movies. I found I was very interested in this as well. Also, at my highschool, I became very good friends with a Japanese girl who was there to learn English. She taught me a few things and she told me I should go to Japan someday and that I should learn Japanese. After I graduated, I enrolled in some Japanese course in my University. I liked it a lot! I studies almost everyday. It was so interesting and I liked the feeling that I could communicate a little with my friend in her own language. It becoming moer difficult as I study more. Now I have a Japanese boyfriend who can help me and teach me a lot. From my whole experience, I have desires to move to Japan so I can learn to speak Japanese fluently and to teach English to elementary school kids. Also, I know Japanese men are very attractive

. Perhaps I can start a family there as well

I hope all goes well with teaching for you. I also want to be a teacher. I want to teach ESL. I've never taught before, only to my friends, but I think that is very different from teaching a class of people you don't know. If you are teaching a class of highschool students, I think for the most part they will be eager to learn. I only graduated highschool one year ago, and I found the language courses to be very interesting and fun. Good luck

シェリー,
thank you for the comment.the school is going to have the japanese class for the first time because there are 30
more students who wanted it,which might mean that many of the students must be eager to study..i will try the best i can do.
i really agree with you that it is very interesting to be able to talk with youf foreign friends with their language.
i guess you can teach ESL and yeah it might be exciting to start a family in japan just like we do here :>
for japanese men,i think they are kind to women

I am studying Japanese for various reasons.
My interest started in 2002 when the World Basketball Championship was in Indianapolis, USA.
My father is a journalist, so we got vip passes and stayed for the after conference, where the Japanese president of the japanese basketball association said that Japan will be hosting the next championship in 2006.
So, I wanted to learn Japanese before I went there, so I can communicate with the people. Along the way, I met many Japanese friends, and I have been invited to many Japanese gatherings. Now, I am a part of a big Japanese community in Chicago. I even performed soran bushi at the Chicago Osaka sister city festival. I am invited to many parties, but they speak Japanese most of the time. So, I want to learn Japanese so I can enjoy my time with them more
