@abruptum yo name a genre, I have tons of recommendations.
@WornOutLife Japanese is great, although the fact that is has 3 systems instead of 1 like English was hard to get past. How far are you in studies?
@lifesucksxoxo I've been learning for 2y now and I hear what your opinion is, but Japanese can be useful in business degrees or anything that requires translation. They've always looking for English teachers as well and have dedicated programs for it to get it. Some people see Japan as a way to escape from the West anyways, where they feel they're creative lifestyles are limited. I've known several people that have moved and it has had a positive impact + their knowledge of Japanese has helped ofc. Most Japanese people appreciate when people at least try to learn the language or at least enough to get by. Also that kind of thinking exists in every country in some form or another. There will always be a view that sees people as "outsiders" or "foreigners" that aren't wanted. Also while it's true that some Japanese people might not want foreigners in their country, like I said every country has that crowd, Japanese *need* foreigners to fill the job loss that they are experiencing due to their workforce being of an older generation. Among other problems. Learning Japanese can open many opportunities in life, especially if one were to move to the country itself. Learning a language also requires tons of dedication, practicing each day for multiple hours to become fluent. So I'd say that even if nothing comes of it, that person's determination to the learning process is a good thing for their character, or if they just need something to distract them.
