What comes to mind when you think of Japan? Perhaps it’s anime, sushi, manga, geishas, ninjas or even game shows. These are just a few of the millions of things that make Japan unique, but what truly makes Japan special is its language.
FIU is home to the Japan club, a place where students can gather to expand their knowledge base of almost all things related to Japan. Throughout the semester, the club holds meetings where members engage in discussions about Japanese food, technology, music, fashion, literature, history, Japanese language, and much more.
Japanese is definitely one of the more popular languages to learn, for both personal enrichment and career advancement. Japanese itself is an East-Asian language spoken by about 130 million speakers, primarily in Japan, and is approximately the ninth most spoken language in the world.
