Why Japanese?
Make an effort in Japanese so you can travel and speak the language even on a small scale. Even if you know just the basics, it can take you places and make you feel pretty awesome. Plus, it is cool to speak another language. It also makes your brain age slower. If you don’t believe me, just read this article that backs up what I’m telling y’all!
