Before such a decision, consider how you would be using either of those language after graduation. What lies ahead after you learn either of them?

Well English is spoken the most widely in the world, and is also the international business language. But really it all depends on what you want to do in the future. English would be a better one to learn over Japanese, if you are not sure what you are going to do yet.

English - Harder grammar and vocabulary Japanese - Harder writing system Which culture do the hotels and companies you will be working for seek business from more often? Japanese could given you a more specialized skill, but the market for the skill may be more limited if the companies work more with western markets. |
If you look here:
KryssTal : The 30 Most Spoken Languages in the World You can see how many people speak the language and where it is commonly used. As you can see Japan is pretty far down, and Japan is the only place where it's the main language. |

:) Hi, nice to see you from Far East, Japan.
Well, as above MissMisa said, Japanese is minor language, so I think it is more useful to choose English for you. If you really want to learn Japanese, you can learn it personally. But well, Japanese is not so useful language in view of world wide business world...at least I think so:ywave: |
I will Look my Way.... Thanx AnyWay....
I'm searching more..... with my teacher... !!! Exam in 15 June 2008 :rolleyes: |

Things will be simpler if you choose english. There aren't all these characters to learn, and since you already know the basic grammar, 4 years of practice are more than enough to become fluent in English... As for your work... I guess there are a lot of turkish people who are fluent in english, but how many turks speak japanese? Not a lot, I guess. Probably, if you choose japanese, you could have more job oppurtunities. However, good luck for your exam! |
No one can make this decision but you. No one knows if you can learn Japanese or not. Unless you know you are a very natural language learner, you will not know whether or not you will like taking Japanese or not.
I know people whose dream was to learn Japanese and live in Japan. They began studying and quit after 2 weeks. On the other hand, I took Japanese just for fun to share a class with my friend. He quit after 2 years, but I continued and now am a translator. You can choose Japanese, but Japanese also has to choose you. |
