Why I choose to learn Japanese

When I was about 5 years old, I watched a Japanese teleplay called ひとつ屋根の下。I still remember that I really admired the actress in that teleplay whose name is Noriko Sakai and watched several teleplay in which she was the leading actor.  It's the first time that I get to know about Japanese culture. 

Later, our local broadcasting corp imported many Japanese cartoons. For example, 名探偵コナン,美少女戦士セーラームーン，etc. They filled much of my leisure time. The more I watch, the more I am curious about Japan. 

My family took a three week travel to Japan five years ago. We are all surprised at the tidy environment and politeness of people there. I tried to purchase some gifts for my friend at a department store and had some problems with the goods. A shop assistant came to me to see if he can help. After figuring out that I am a foreigner, he found some other shop assistants in other floors who can speak English to help. Finally, I got a perfect present. I really appreciate their help and they even apologize to me about not being able to provide a best service due to language reason.

After this trip, the idea of learning Japanese came to my mind. I am fascinated about not only their culture but also their spirit. I wish I could have the opportunity to go there again after I am able to communicate in Japanese. That's why I want to learn it.
