I can't speak for others, but I know some Japanese because I took classes for several years (but only once a week, so I didn't learn as much as I did the languages I learned in school). And because languages interest me. And because there were quite a few Japanese students at my school. > Is it just consequence of that widespreading anime movies??? Not in my case. I had never heard of anime or manga when I started. > Or you can study Japanese somewhere outside Japan? Indeed you can. It can be a bit difficult, though. (For example, my first class was cancelled after about two years because the class size became too small as more and more people dropped out with each passing semester, but we managed to continue on a private basis by paying the teacher directly. Until she had to cancel because she was going to start teaching a beginner's class again and didn't have time for two groups.)
