^^^^^is learning Japanese that beneficial? yeah it would be cool but there are so many mexicans in america as of now. aren't they the most dominant here also? many people in the u.s. and the mexicans speak spanish. its nice to learn spanish because if you are bilingual, your paycheck increases and you can have so many people come for your help if you are a doctor, lawyer, etc. mexico is also a really cool place, i went down there over the summer and i had a awesome time with friends and such. and how many people speak japanese in the u.s? i would imagine there are quite a few and there are the japanese pll, but we are overrun by mexicans. also, there are so many countries that have there official language as spanish and how many countries have their official language as japanese? well w/e, i think japanese would be cool but i think spanish is more beneficial.
