(noun, verb, adj) we ask 'how to write in characters?' a lot in daily conv. so what im saying is you can learn just spoken japanese if you dont want to learn how to write. but you do need writing skill if you want to count japanese language as your career in the future. characters are really important in japanese language even when we're just talking.<br><b>References : </b><br>majored in japanese literature the difference between english and japanese are writing system.

Also, Japan is a great buisness country and is a very diverse and unique language. Yes, Japanese may only be spoken in one country, but face it so is Italian, and French, unless you have a burning desire to go to Quebec, French Guiana, or parts of Africa, it's only spoken in one country also, AND, both of these countries only have half of the size population as Japan. Plus, just do it to do it. It is great to know an asian language, for most non-asian people do not learn it. You should try learning them at the same time as one another. Thats how i learned English and Spanish.<br><b>References : </b><br>Currently studying Japanese. Im good at it and enjoy the sound and writing.

What if you are already learning Italian and French and have to give up again just like giving up Japanese now. However, I think it would be much easier if you have a tutor for any language you want to learn. Career wise, it depends of which field you are pursuing and which language does it mainly use. General wise, follow your interest. What do you enjoy more among those languages.<br><b>References : </b><br>Language Background: Malay English Japanese Arabic For me, I’m already addicted to learning Japanese Language.

The fact that you are learning it ON YOUR OWN may be the problem. Learning Japanese is pretty hard to learn by yourself without someone clearning things up for you a bit every step of the way. So if you like the language, but just can't grasp it well enough, try taking classes, or get better books, or find a tutor, etc. Japan is a good BUSINESS country. Italian and French are both good languages to know- and both are very pretty! If you think you can learn these languages well enough to help you with your career, then I think you should go with these. That way you'll know English, Arabic, Italian, and French. Instead of just English, Arabic, and Japanese. I think you should learn Italian and French at the moment, and maybe pick up Japanese again later on. Whatever you choose, all are good languages to learn, and dropping even one won't do you any harm. I know that French is an international language. It's good for business, and so is Japanese. Italian ...hmm... I don't really know. I've never really thought about it. But in a way, if you learn Italian, you can pick up Spanish and Portuguese really easily! =)<br><b>References : </b><br> Honestly, even if you speak ONE OTHER LANGUAGE, you’re set for life! lol

You come from an Italian background and maybe you don't have as much pride and sense of culture in that as you should. Italian is a beautiful and graceful language that is much older than Japanese, and much more useful. French I don't find a very good language either, but Italian is a true gem of a tongue.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes, Japanese is an ugly language.

So, I'd say if you think you can learn Italian or French well, it would probably be better to learn one of those, since you'll probably encounter those languages more often. But if you don't live in the UK or US, I don't know how I can help you.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you live in the US or UK, you probably won’t use very much Japanese unless your career guides you in that direction.
