Well, I'd absolutely love to learn Japanese in the future if possible. Honestly, I'm really passionate about Japanese anime/ˈænɪmeɪ/, but I usually need subtitles or have to watch dubbed/dʌbd/ versions/ˈvɜːʃ(ə)n/ in Chinese because of the language barrier/ˈbæriə(r)/. It's actually quite frustrating/frʌˈstreɪtɪŋ/ when I can't fully appreciate the nuances/ˈnjuːɑːns/ of the dialogue/ˈdaɪəlɒɡ/ due to inaccurate/ɪnˈækjərət/ translations/trænzˈleɪʃ(ə)n/. So, if I could speak or read Japanese fluently, it would truly be a tremendous/trəˈmendəs/ benefit for my interests.

Well, besides Chinese, it's actually quite common to study English in schools in China. Back in elementary school, teachers would typically start by teaching us the International Phonetic/fəˈnetɪk/ Alphabet,/ˈælfəbet/ and then they'd have us read paragraphs from the textbook after them. Additionally, students were often required to memorize vocabulary or passages taught that day. It was also quite common to have a short quiz on the material we had learned at the beginning of the next day's class.
