Why I decided to learn Japanese?

I decided to study Japanese due to a multitude of reasons:

Reason 1: I love watching anime, over the past few years I have grown to love watching all different types of animes from Shonen to mystery to romance. 

Reason 2: I have always been very found of traditional Japanese culture, I love Japanese architecture, cuisine, fashion, and martial arts.

Reason 3: I would love to someday travel to Japan and learning Japanese is a step in the right direction towards reaching that goal!
