JAPANESE
I wanna watch Anime without needing subtitles...
Also sometimes meaning get lose in translation...
I'd love to rewatch Steins;Gate with proficiency in Japanese.
Oh btw, I have never met a Japanese person (I mean maybe I could've had walked passed by an ethnic Japanese that have been too Americanized for me to know their ethnicity... cuz then they're just "Asian American" to me, and it'd be hard to tell) and never heard anyone IRL actually speaking Japanese fluently...
So yea knowledge of Japanese can impress a lot of Western weebs.
I could even pretend to be Japanese for the lulz... since I'm ethnic Chinese and I doubt most Americans would even be able to tell the difference xD (I mean I probably can't tell apart East Asian ethnicities either, despite me being East Asian myself)
Its OK, I'm European and couldn't distinguish a Swede from a Fin.
Good news, if you can read and write Chinese you're already partly there!
