"No, you'll never be alone."
All right, I was wondering if learning Japanese is worth the time and effort that will be need to put into it. It would take a good few years, but then once you've gotten the hang of it, you would be able to read, write, and speak Japanese, as well as understand it when it is spoken to you.
Then, you would be able to purchase material that is only in Japan, and not have to wait till the release date in the United States, or wherever else it is you live, or if it isn't even going to be released in the US (and again, wherever you may live) then you can have a japanese copy, but you would be able to understand it.
Take for instance the manga "Star Ocean: The Second Story". I really enjoy the Star Ocean series, but the manga was only released in Japan, and an english translation was never made..
Also, you could watch anime's in japanese, instead of with dubs or subs..
What do you think, is it a good idea?
