"Choosing Japanese as one of my electives was easily the best choice I made in high school because understanding and learning about a new culture and language put me ahead of my peers in my political degree. The experience and knowledge in culture diversity has helped me tremendously in nearly all of my classes in university and has given me an edge in my current position at the Department of Home Affairs."

"Studying Japanese has opened many doors for my degree in neuroscience! Understanding a different culture/language is celebrated in the health industry and opens up many opportunities for work experiences, internships and exchanges! Couldn’t recommend it more."

"Throughout high school, Japanese was one of my chief passions, it opened my eyes to a different culture, different perspectives, and new ways of thinking but also how we humans are also simultaneously the same as a people across the globe. This guided my choice in degree and university when year 12 came around greatly. I am currently a student at the ANU studying linguistics as this allows me to continue to explore these differing angles of thinking we as a species have developed to understand the world around us. I am of course also continuing my study of Japanese too."

"Studying Japanese helped me during my degree and in my career as a Speech Pathologist by expanding my knowledge of how language is constructed and is the tool we need to communicate with others. It also shaped my love of travel and learning about other cultures."
