It’s Never Too Late to Learn Japanese

It’s a great time to learn another language. Thanks to the Internet, we have resources available at our disposal that didn’t exist even a decade or two ago. 

When our publisher, Jay, started learning Japanese, he lived in a small town in upstate New York. The commercial Internet didn’t exist. Resources were few and far between. 

Today, anyone can read practically any newspaper from anywhere in the world from their comfort of their own home. Online resources for learning abound. You can bring yourself to a high level of proficiency in another language without ever leaving your country of origin!

Jay didn’t start learning Japanese in earnest until his late 30s. In his early 40s, he passed Level 1 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). His experience is proof that age isn’t a barrier to learning. So why not start your Japanese language learning journey today?
