Its not necessarily easier to learn, but the Germanic and Romantic languages are easier for us to pronounce.

There aren't too many Japanese that are proficient with their English, but there are many that are keen to learn it. I don't think I could just advertise our site like that... It'd be way too hard. I had a hard enough time buying a cell phone over there. Just when you think your Japanese is half decent you realise there's still a ton to learn.

I kinda now what you mean. But immersion is the best way to learn a new language, you'll catch on easily enough.
But I thought that more people would be better with English considering that many schools have it as a standard class. Oh well, you learn a new thing everyday.

Don't forget, Matt, their English courses would allow them only to be prepared for a possible use of English as a secondary language, like how most immigrants to the US are more proficient in their native language.

Think back to when you had to learn Spanish in High School, Matt. If you were one of those kids who only knew really poor basics and would rather skip Spanish to do other things, English is kind of like that. They know some phrases but not enough to have a conversation with.
