僕は日本人なので、日本語が第一言語です。そして、多くの日本人は第二言語として、英語を学んでいます🇯🇵🥰 そこで、アメリカ人に質問があります。アメリカ人は第二言語として、どんな言語を学んでいますか？🇺🇸🤭

第二言語として日本語を学んでいる人っていないのかな？🇯🇵🤭

スペイン語が多いみたいですね🇪🇸😳

僕は大学生の時にフランス語を１年間だけ勉強しました🇫🇷 あと、社会人になって１年間だけ中国語を勉強しました🇨🇳 でも昔だから、今はほとんど忘れました🤣

Is anyone here learning Japanese as a second language?🇯🇵😢

For high school, I attended a small, private, college preparatory high school. We had to choose 3 years of either Spanish, French, or Russian. As far as I know, Russian is an extremely rare offering for high school; though, it was only offered because the History teacher could already speak Russian when he was hired. We could also optionally take 2 years of one language and 2 years of a different one, or even optionally take 4 years of one language instead of 3 years. Most people took Spanish because the Spanish teacher was nicer and more lenient than the French and Russian teachers, haha. I would have totally chosen Japanese if it were offered though!

I chose Spanish because, for the careers I had in mind, it wouldn't have made a difference which language I chose to study, to be honest. I would have chosen Japanese, even if the teacher or courses were rumored to be more challenging, because Spanish just feels more mundane or not as interesting- I think it would have kept my attention more.
