Which is a very ambitious move because you will need many years of daily practice to come even close to a point to understand enough without needing subtitles.

Hopefully not a office work job . Highly likely you die being overwork.

Of all the things in this, working in Japan is the one that you certainly don’t want to do.

Let’s be honest, 90% of us started learning it for the third reason.

Middle is the weirdest one here btw
Wanting to learn a language to be able to consume its media without aid feels like a pretty respectable endeavor. Wanting to work in Japan is…a choice, but if you’d like to move there then by all means. Wanting to learn japanese for the prospect of wifing up specifically a japanese girl is just borderline fetishization lmao.

Third is more realistic and less stupid than the other 2 reasons.

The third reason seems like the only legit one tbh. I would never want to work with a traditional Japanese company considering that I plan on maintaining my sanity. Learning Japanese just to marry a Japanese woman straight up sounds creepy.

TBH the middle reason also sounds silly enough to earn the goofy looking head

After watching anime for 6yrs … I can watch without subtitles but I can’t read japanese 🤷

As a teacher that taught beginner Japanese i’d say that’s a solid reason to start

That’s actually the most reasonable choice
Japanese workplace culture is literal dogshit, their salaries are low, and their currency is weak
The middle just comes off weird and fetishistic
Trying to improve your enjoyment of a hobby is the best choice here lol

I want to read manga. I’m too awkward to talk to strangers and I don’t know any Japanese people. I’m about 300 kanji in, so it’s slowly going. I can’t write for shit though lmao

It’s a solid reason. With the way localizers mess with other people’s work it’s hard to trust what you are reading is really the author’s pure intent or if it was tainted by these people.
