Student Voices Part 1: Why Did Our Students Start Learning Japanese?

By BBICollege, Posted on 09/11/2026



Thinking of trying something new in 2027? ✨

Have you ever thought about learning Japanese but weren’t sure where to start?

At BBIC Japanese Language School, our students have different backgrounds and their own reasons for learning Japanese.

We recently asked some of our Beginner 1 students, who are moving on to Beginner 2, to share their experiences with us.

In Part 1 of our Student Voices series, let’s explore what inspired them to start learning Japanese! 🌸

Rediscovering Japanese 📚

For some students, learning Japanese is an opportunity to reconnect with something they studied in the past.

One student shared that they had previously studied Japanese at school and attended beginner classes several years ago. After forgetting some of what they had learned, they decided to return to the classroom and rebuild their skills.

Another student wanted to resume learning Japanese while enjoying a hobby with a friend.

These experiences remind us that it’s never too late to return to learning a language!

Exploring Japanese Culture

For other students, an interest in Japanese culture is a major motivation.

One student decided to learn Japanese because they were interested in Japanese culture and wanted to challenge themselves by learning a language.

Another student shared:

“I’d love to be able to talk to my friends in Japan and be able to enrich myself in the culture.”

Whether it’s connecting with friends, exploring Japanese culture, or trying something new, everyone has their own reason to begin.

Every Japanese Learning Journey Starts Somewhere! 🌸

There’s no single reason to learn Japanese, and that’s what makes our classrooms so interesting!

At BBIC, we welcome students who are completely new to Japanese, as well as those who would like to refresh their existing knowledge.

A big thank you to our students for sharing their experiences with us!
