Why study Japanese? 

There are several good reasons for studying Japanese. One is that learning the language opens the door to an understanding of this rich and distinctive culture, at a time when relations between Japan and Australia are of unprecedented importance. Another is that Japanese itself is an important and fascinating language: its grammatical structure is built on different lines from the more familiar European languages, and Japanese is written in a unique writing system.

Japanese attracts students who wish to gain a deeper understanding of some aspect of the country or who are interested in taking up a new language, as well as students who wish to develop their earlier studies.

Other students may wish to take up Japanese out of an interest in Asia in general, for employment purposes or simply out of a desire to try something different and exciting.
