Good luck with your application! I'm a final year Japanese (and French and German) student at Newcastle. Japanese is a niche sorta degree programme - maybe around 350 students a year across under and post grad as of 2011/12, around the same popularity as Italian Studies. Although neither figures count people like me doing broad-based language programmes. :tongue:

Ha, you'll get far in Japan doing that. Joke, but anime can be useful.

And thanks.

I wanna study medicine, I am in my final grade at school. And well, I am not a brilliant student so I must work hard and Ihave a boyfriend for whom I need time. So I can't really start with Japanese now but thanks anyway :biggrin:

Well even 10-20 mins a day you will make progress, but it's your decision. I have no social life so i can't say much :biggrin:

I'm not applying for Japanese (sorry to butt in!) but I have a friend who is, and I know my sister intends to in 2016 (she was also looking at studying directly in Japan). I think it's becoming a lot more popular in recent years, both as an option for people who grew up on/developed an interest in Japanese media, and in the case of my friend, people of part Japanese heritage.

I watch a bit of everything. I began watching Gintama and one piece recently. Usually i end up on very depressing ones..like Fushigi yugi (or whatever it was called) or Ayashi no ceres.

It's not butting in really, i assumed everyone was part of the convo. Is it strange my love for the language grew from Kanji, Doraemon and Kimonos..

Aniaa, good luck with your studies
