Well, my experience:
Since I am in my 4th year and using it every day, I became pretty font of the language itself. Words I didnt hear before can be understood and grammatical constructions are almost all seen at least one time before, so my language skills are almost fluently.
BUT, come on, xD Japanese is soooooooo hard to learn! It has so many synonyms and homonyms, it makes me wanna cry of frustration sometimes 
There are soooo many ways to say something in a different way, unbelievable! But maybe it is the level of difficulty to reach a fluent level which makes it attractive to me 
How did you experience it? Tell me about your hardships of learning Japanese! aka Mission Almost Impossible! 
Thanks in advance for reading and replieing <3 |
I was thinking about going to Leiden too, but then choose Japanese as a minor, because the kind of jobs that you can do with only Japanese as your study, don't suit me
In the brochure of the study, it says different kinds of jobs that you can do when you've finished the study:
-Journalism
-Working for the government
-Teaching
Are there any other jobs you can do with only the study you're doing?
