I chose to study the Japanese language because I find it fascinating. I also think that it will be useful in the future when I graduate from school and begin working as an engineer, since there are many inventions and technologies that come from Japan. In addition, I would also like to visit Japan one day, and I want to be able to speak the language when I visit.

I am excited to finally be learning Japanese in a formal setting. My prior knowledge of Japanese was through both a friend and self-study. I am excited that I will finally be able to learn more Japanese!
