[quote=Anonymous]Being half Japanese, I would love a Japanese language immersion, but I don't think there's enough interest beyond folks interested in Manga/Anime. It is a difficult language, but not as difficult as some other posters here seem to think. I did not speak any Japanese going into college but reached decent proficiency with three years of study which included a semester abroad. The thing with little kids is that they will pick it up very quickly. I do think kids might enjoy learning Japanese because of the anime/manga aspect. Who would have thought Pokemon is still so popular among kids. I think it's been around for over a decade now, and power rangers too. Where I think Japanese could be done well is at DCI. As a second language for Chinese speakers, it would be a breeze with the writing since they would know most if not all the kanji already.[/quote]
