--- Quote from: McJob on October 08, 2017, 08:15:27 PM ---In Australia (maybe only NSW), it is compulsory for Year 7 and 8 students to study a second language. I chose Japanese over French (the only two offered by the school) because I felt it would help improve business relationships if I ever got into high-level finance as Australia is getting extremely close with Asia. I wanted to continue Japanese through Year 9 and onwards, but it would have clashed with my other choices, Commerce and Business. I've pretty much forgotten all I learned since then. Good times though. --- End quote --- I really wish Japanese classes were offered more often in the US My uni's got Mandarin, sure, but not Japanese :[ |
