Anime is a great cultural item that has made learning Japanese particularly inviting to many English speakers. It is also a big reason that many people in all parts of the world want to learn Japanese.
Others like Japan because of the traditional culture and its deep roots. Even others gravitate to Japan because it is the second largest economy in the world and want to learn Japanese for business reasons.
For whatever your reason may be for learning a language like Japanese, you must remember a few things that learning a foreign language successfully means.
Japanese is one of the more difficult languages to learn for English speakers because it does not use the same script for reading and writing and also because it has few similar words with English.
Spanish or French, on the other hand, use the same script as English and also share many words because English borrowed a great number of words from these languages and other Latin influences thus resulting in many cognates between the languages. This means that you can pick up a great number of words simply because they are very similar to the English equivalents.
This means that learning Japanese is a little bit more tricky but I am not saying that it is impossible.
You need to have a strong reason for wanting to learn Japanese if you are going to become proficient in it.
If you really want to get to that high level in Japanese, you have to make sure that these reasons are foremost in your heart.
This can either be your interest in something like anime or it can be something like a business investment for your future.
Whatever the case may be, remember to keep this reason foremost in your mind and that will help bring the spark to keep you going in the long process which master a foreign language like Japanese entails. Good luck and I hope that you continue to make progress in learning Japanese.
