The reason I’m learning Japanese Someone I talked to recently asked me why I’m learning Japanese. There’s many reasons anime, food, culture, and music. But the main reason. I was walking through New York one fine evening and I saw an elderly couple lost. They spoke very little English and spoke Japanese for the most part. Luckily, I understood that they needed help so I showed them the way to their hotel. I still remember that they didn’t realize they were speaking Japanese 1/2
