Why I study Japanese

I am studying Japanese for quite a few reasons. I really want to go to Japan, and I believe that it would make my trip more exciting and worthwhile if I can speak the native language of the country. I also want to learn the Japanese language because I like Japanese movies, anime, food, and clothing. I am excited to be able to read and speak the language, especially because I am working really hard to learn it. The most difficult part of the course so far is trying to speak it fluently. I know that I do not know a lot of Japanese as of yet, but I find it difficult speak the things I know without long pauses or stuttering. However, my excitement and desire to learn the language is still very strong, and I am looking forward to learning more!
