Well I think it's cool! I studied Russian at uni and I'm taking Japanese evening classes at the moment, so I know both the struggle and the joy of learning both.
my russian classes are great. i really like the teacher/group i am with. they legit want to learn the language.
with japanese i haven't found that. it's frustrating. every class i take with Japanese it's just people who want to be tourists and don't really want to learn the language.
I'm not sure how long you've been doing Japanese, but I find that as you stick with it, the people who are less committed will drop off. When I started Japanese classes last year, there were about 20 in the group, but now there are only 6 left (including people who joined along the way) If you're able to self-study, you could also do that for a bit and join classes at a higher level
