- you want to talk with people who don't speak yours
- you don't want to confine yourself to what happens to be sayable in your native one - you want to show the world you're not a complete moron - you want to prevent or postpone getting alzheimers - you want to be able to give your native-language-brainparts a well-earned rest once in a while - you want more career-options As to which one to learn, I recommend you learn Esperanto first. Its speakers are scattered across rthe globe, it's by far the easiest language to learn, and knowing it will help you learn other languages faster ( wikipedia Propaedeutic_value_of_esperanto ) |

Hey! I'm studying Japanese and have been for almost two years. I love the language and it is amazing.
Why I am learning it: -To read materials not in my own language. I watch anime and usually English mangas are not translated the best so reading the Japanese one is amazing. -Talking to people who don't speak English or little English. I talk to people on Twitter who speak some or little to know English an it's an amazing experince. -It's fun. Since it's a personal choice, you should enjoy it. I study Japanese like crazy because I enjoy it. -Traveling- If you wanna travel, and I want to go to Japan..I need to know the language. I like talking in a different language. -Differences in languages. Japanese is harder than English which makes it interesting but hard, I like having a good challenge. It's also just cool to explore another language. -More materials: I can buy games in Japanese, download apps and read basic stuff. Also, just giving a person more options on something to do like reading and talking. |

I am learning Turkish because I am an Iranian ethnically Turk and I can speak Azerbaijani which is very close to Turkish language and I can speak Persian too.
