Learning Japanese is trend in the world!

English is the most widely learned language.
Spanish comes next.
Japanese, however, is the most learned language in Singapore and Canberra, Australia.
In the US and some other countries, many people learn Japanese.
Of course, speaking Japanese is easier than writing and reading.
Why is Japanese learning  so popular?
Personally, I think Japanese culture have some affects in this trend.
There are so many unique cultures like manga or anime, karaoke, zen, kimono, kabuki, temples and so on.
They fascinate many people all over the world!
