There are several reasons why Japanese isn't offered much in schools in the US. First, there just aren't that many qualifed teachers of Japanese. Second, most kids aren't interested in taking it It's a lot of work and who in your neighborhood speaks Japanese? Is it neat to learn Japanese language and culture? Sure! But, it's just not overwhelmingly popular in most schools where the big trick is to teach English!!! Shop around for a school that offers Japanese, or get a language program for your computer and learn it on your own. It may also be available in after school programs in your area such as a junior college. Komban Wa.
