Hi Ben, how are you?
i think its very good, that you are interested in studying languages. japanese is very difficult, but if you like it, you will have good experience. in my school, we study rissian and french. But im very interested in spanish. i think is not very different from english. when you study languages, its easier to travel. Because you can speak with people, who live in these countries
best wishes
