Japanese is an East Asian language spoken by about 128 million people, primarily in Japan, where it is the national language. It is a member of the Japonic language family, and its relation to other languages, such as Korean, is debated. Japonic languages have been grouped with other language families such as Ainu, Austroasiatic, and the now-discredited Altaic, but none of these proposals has gained widespread acceptance.

 

Regardless of what language you’re studying, age is nothing but a number. If you think otherwise, feel free to talk to the members of the Polyglot Conference, which was held in Fukuoka, Japan this year. The members range in ages, speak multiple languages, and constantly learn new languages. They’re the reason why I aspire to master several languages. I’m 27 (2.5 years away from 30), and Japanese is my second language.

I studied Japanese for the past year and Korean for the past two weeks. 

 

When will you reach fluency? If you are a native English speaker, the U.S. Foreign Service Institute estimates that it will take 2200 class hours or 88 weeks to reach “Professional Working Proficiency” in Japanese.

Your age doesn’t exclude you from the same study methods as a 19-year-old, for example. You can create your own study methods and learn just like your junior. I recommend studying with hobbies you enjoy. 

 

For example, I love learning Japanese vocabulary and grammar by memorizing Japanese songs and watching shows like Terrace House and anime on Netflix.

 

It also depends on how you can learn effectively. 

Would you learn more efficiently with a native teacher? 

Are you able to fit at least 30 minutes of language studies daily? 

Are you willing to invest in lessons or language schools?

 

Many websites actually has several resources on language studies, and it’s based on my experience with Japanese. 

 

You can learn a new language at any age it depends on your interest. Age is just a no. learning a new language will have more career opportunities and also enjoy vacations while going to japan country. You will be very comfortable while talking to the Japanese language with Japanese people. Most businesses are exploring national and international, in today’s world, it is very important to create a network globally. 

 

In fact, learning a new language in your 30’s is a big investment for your future
