Hello. I've been wanting to move to Japan since... well forever. As far back as I can remember, and I do my best to try to learn it. I'm still learning it, and going as fast as I can and what not.. yada yada.
But the more and more I learn Japanese, and about Japanese culture, I quickly find out that it's dying. A lot of Labels on food products and everything in Japan are in English. As are the Company Logo's as well! And even though I still plan on moving to Japan, and I still believe that I should learn the language... It makes me sad to see that Japanese is dying. (As are all of the other Languages of the world! German Espically, and I love German!) I want to get >AWAY< from English. I don't like the sound of how I talk. (It's like nails on a chalk board in my mind and when I talk) >.<.
So, anywhos.. the point of this is... I want to hear some other peoples opinion on this situation. And maybe some from Natives of Japan.
It's a real sad thing to me... it really is.

EDIT: Just reading over this and forgot to ad this... Also how they use words half from English, and half from Japanese. Or all out English. Like for Instance, pasokon (Personal Computer), or keeki (Cake), rasshu awaa (Rush Hour), or orenji (Orange), or suteeki (steak). It just makes me all frustrated to see that >.<. I don't want English mixing in with other Languages!
