Learning Japanese


I'm sorry for not being so active
I just dint have anything to blog at the moment

Anyways, a friend of mine started learning Japanese language.
So...he explain what he learn and the people he meet etc etc....
When he got to the part WHY these people are learning Japanese,
Other than those reasons such as going to Japan for further study or learning an extra language to communicate.
Some just gave the most stupid silly reasons to learn the language that anyone would hear.

One example, there was this malay girl i think (no i'm not rasict or anything) took up the class.
When she was asked what's the reason she wanted to learn Japanese
She replied "Because I wanna cosplay"
..........
what in gods name do you need to learn Japanese to FREAKING COSPLAY.
All you just need to do is watch your favorite anime that you wanted to cosplay
get/make the cosplay costume
then memorize the dialog that its signature to its charater.
Done. (no I dont have any problems against cosplayers)

Besides that, there was a guy in his class was anti-social, quiet person.
One day during msn, my friend message the guy asking why is he so quiet person in the class?
He replied,
"I wanna act like an anime character in some anime"
I laugh till almost fall of my chair.
That's just weird someone actually acts as a character from an anime real life
(someone have been watching/reading too much anime/manga)

Okok, maybe I was being abit harsh on them.
There's nothing wrong learning Japanese and try to explore their culture.
Its just some people took it way to seriously.
