Why I choose to learn Japanese???

I'm not a Linguistic major student in the first place.

But I love learning languages.

You can perceive it as a hobby or as something you want to blend into your life.

I read posts of other classes, and found out a lot of people want to learn Japanese because of Japanese cartoon. 

Well, I'm not a fan of Japanese cartoon, or should I say, not really a fan of cartoon.

And I used to watch Japanese TV drama/shows less than Korean TV dramas/shows. (I guess that's why our lab tutor says I pronounce Japanese with a Korean accent..., but I don't speak Korean.)

Ok, the real reason I chose Japanese over other languages such as Korean is because of my BOSS!

I'm currently interning in a private equity firm in Shanghai where we have competitors/partners from Japan. My boss encouraged me to learn Japanese, I guess, because he thought one day it will be of help while we need to dig up what's really happening on the side of our counterparties.

I'm quite enjoying the class experience up till now. And I'm switching from watching Korean TV drama to Japanese TV drama now!!! ＜半沢直樹＞ is my favorite! Bravo to the leading actor and actress.
