Spanish is more widely spoken across the world than Japanese is. Japanese is only really spoken by....the Japanese. Therefore Spanish is more useful.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I'm studying Spanish and I wish I had chosen Japanese instead, just because I think I'll actually use it. Sure, it would be for weeaboo shit, but that's still more useful than being able to speak with the few non-English speaking Hispanics you might run into in your everday life. Depending on where you live the chances of meeting such a person can be extremely low (I ran into them a lot in the West but here in the Pacific Northwest they're pretty rare).

>> No.2054988

Japanese unlocks:

- 2channel, the biggest internet board in the world and the source of a good chunk of 4chan's memes.
- NicoNicodouga MADs that rely on knowing what they say in it
- All untranslated VN, Manga, Anime
- Much more acceptance when in Japan
- Opportunity to marry Japanese girls in Japan

Not only that but those are some damn fine cigars. The cohiba and the OpusX are a couple of the best smokes I've ever had and they're expensive as fuck too, the Hoyo de tradicion isn't anything to be scoffed at either. I have a box of Cohibas I've been holding on to for about 5 years to be had and shared at weddings and other occasions. I'd cry of that were to happen to my cigars, I keep the better cigars like these in their own separate humidor for just this reason; any new box of cigars I buy has to spend 4 months in my everyday cigar humidor before I let it into the good one.
